Ed had a wonderful sense of humor. He seem to find silliness in even the most mundane things. He and Cindy were always encouraging and supportive of me as I tried to navigate life. The one time I remember best with Ed was when he and Cindy moved me to Williamsport Pennsylvania. He came and picked me up in a huge moving truck. About halfway through the trip we got a flat tire, in the rain, on a sparsely traveled highway. We had to spend quite a while at a truckstop. We drank gallons of coffee while we chatted and laughed. I´m so grateful to have had Ed in my and my children´s lives, if only for a short time. The world lost a genuinely good human being.
