Edward was a coworker of mine at Geodis Wilson in Elk Grove IL. He was always helpful liked by everyone. When I had to drop my car off at Firestone for repairs he had no problem driving me back to work at lunch time. When I had a problem with an account he was the one I went to for advice. He was a good man.
