I still think of Ed on a nearly daily basis. He was such a special person and just a joy to be with. So many memories arise when I look at his photo.

What a blessing having "Mr Ed" as a friend and riding buddy for 20 years. He was not only a friend, but an inspiration. Kathy and I will miss him but every time we think of him, we will smile. That is exactly what he would want us to do!

Monty and I always admired and respected Ed for his service to our country and his friendship. We will always remember our time together both on motorcycles or sitting on a bench talking. Rest in peace soldier.
