Our prayers for Mr. Ed, and our prayers, thoughts, and condolences are with Ms. Phyllis, Kim and Karen.

We are so sorry for your loss, Mr. Ed was a great person and the funniest man alive. As we grew up on Kawanee Mr. Ed could always be counted on for a good joke. He is now in Heaven with Daddy(Pete Lima) and Uncle (Joel Rousselle). They can have fun, joke around, and watch over all of us.
