Ed, you will be missed. Thank you for the number 9 treatments you gave me when I was growing up and my mom needed help straightening me out at times. Without those treatments I wouldn't be the man I am today. Thank you for taking me to help you when you worked on ac units and showing me mechanical skills. I just wish those mechanical skills lessons would have stuck. Thank you for taking me fishing when you went with your dad Charles and your son and nephews and making me feel like a part of your family. I'm going to miss talking to you on the phone and hearing your encouragement you gave me over the years.
