We are thinking of Ed and his family. Our family enjoyed getting to know Ed and are endlessly appreciative of the care, respect, and love he showed for my grandmother (JoAnn Cannon). Ed had a dry sense of humor (often followed by a smirk that made us laugh), a bank of knowledge about so many things, and was a great listener. We loved hearing stories about his kids and grandkids- he had such obvious pride on his face whenever he spoke of them. We truly valued our time with him and will miss him greatly!
Rest in Peace, Ed. Thank you for everything.

We are so sorry to hear about Ed's passing and we send our deepest condolences. We thought the world of Ed, and we are so grateful that he became a part of our grandmother's life (JoAnn) and ours. We always enjoyed catching up with him when he would come to visit, and we loved hearing about how his family was doing back home in Louisiana. He was so proud of you all, and his eyes lit up every time he spoke of you. He was genuinely funny, sincere, and just an all around stand-up guy. He will sincerely be missed.
