We spent many good times and laughs with Ed and Karen at Lake Harmony,Myrtle Beach. Ed was always the chef and we did cleanup. We'll remember those times with much love. They always made our visits special.

You may now retire your seabag. You are now relieved from your watch. A job well done fellow navy veteran and mason. You are now officially called off from labor. The final battle is now over and peace has been restored. The carrier has turned into the wind preparing for your final launch. Taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Smooth sailing shipmate. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.

Uncle Ed told the best dad-jokes. There was always so much loud laughter around him and my dad. I cherish my memories of the times my family spent with him, Aunt Karen, Ed, and Vicki. Love you all so much.
