When Ed was about to marry Dee, he asked me to be his "godfather". Although this was serious we never-the less shared quite a few jokes about it. What an honor it was and remains; to have shared these many years with such a helpful in time of trouble, kind, wise and compassionate man. Love you Buddy.

I had the good fortune to meet Ed& Dee about 20 years ago. Ed and I shared a mutual love of fishing. We spent many hours in a boat together telling stories and catching fish. Ed was an excellent fisherman and a great story teller. He will be missed by many.I will miss my fishing partner and good friend. My only wish is that I had known him longer. May the water be calm and you always have a tight line. Fish on my friend! Mike

I am privileged to call Ed my friend for the past 45 years and privileged tohave worked with him for better than 20 years.We worked many jobs together and shared many good times. We both loved the work and Ed was one the best of the best. I learned a lot from him and we shared many good times besides work. We would not be in our Florida home were it not for Ed and Dee. Above all else Ed was a family man. Many a time at out of town jobs the conversation would turn to our families. The best thing Ed ever did was to marry Dee, the love of his life. Ed had a good life because he was a good man. rest in peace brother. John and Carole
