Ed was a great person that I enjoyed getting to know. I have known him for about two years and received great joy in seeing him once a week. I took care of his lawn and will greatly miss talking to him. My greatest condolences to all the family he left behind.

We are out of town and will not be home in time for the funeral. Ed was a good neighbor and a true gentleman. We enjoyed knowing him.
