I worked with Ed at GTE National Tech. Support at DFW Airport. We became friends right away. Ed would always try to take me to a place that he thought I had never been to. But I always had except when he took me to Barzons. We went to lunch almost every day and after retireing and he and Teresa moved away I kept in touch with him. But got busy working again and had not talked to him in a year or two. I will surly miss my talks with him. He was a great guy and loved being involved in helping people. He will be missed by me and his other GTE guys and gals. Bill "Gabe" Gaboury Bella Vista Arkansas.

My mother was Ed's mother's older sister. Ed must've been named after our grandfather. I remember all my Magers and Henson cousins, including Ed and Theresa, from visits to Rankin as a child. I often wonder how all are doing. I'm so sorry for your loss. We lost our oldest brother, Robert, this year as well. I will keep you in my prayers.

So Sorry for your Loss.
I saw his face in the obituary in SI.
I knew he looked familiar, I read his obituary.
He & my Uncle Shady worked together in Carbondale for GTE..
Please accept my Deepest Condolences.
