Both June and I were sad to hear the news of Eddies passing. He was a great person and enjoyable to be with. We talk often about the business trip to California and the great time we had visiting the various sites with him. He was truly a nice person and we will miss him deeply. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Ed was a wonderful brother and friend. He would help you whenever you asked. He lived life to the fullest and was passionate about his beliefs, political viewpoints, outdoor activities and especially sports (even the WWF). Though he will be missed in body he will be with us in spirit. And he will be our Chicago White Sox's "Angel in the Outfield".
