When I met Ed, he asked me to show him around the area(sebastion county). I said "sure, if you will work with me for 1 week" . We worked 6 days trimming trees hauling off the trimmings . It was a hard weeks work
The next week he said " let me show you a safer, easier, and better paying way to make a living" then he became the best friend I have ever had while showing me how to install flooring. Edward Shawn changed my life for the better. I am forever grateful to him.

Edward was a very talented man, he showed my husband Colby the flooring trade and made him a successful man. He was funny and serious at the same time. He was a good man and my sympathy goes out to his family and loved ones. Melissa Shawn I'm so sorry. My heart and prayers goes out to u and up to the Lord. I pray peace and understanding.
