I only had the privilege of meeting Ed twice. Even though he barely knew me, he made me feel as though we had been friends for years. I came away from our first meeting with some serious questions about whether I was living my own life to the fullest as Ed lived his. Whether I was as kind to strangers or as enthusiastic about everything I did. Ed showed me that life is what you make of it. He made the very best of his and I will endeavor to do the same. Thanks Big Ed.

Uncle Ed, there are so many wonderful memories of our families doing things together. Going to up to WI, you stopping by my grandparents on Christmas Eve when I was little, doing the October Fest at Holy Ghost or one of my favorites was a New Years Eve when I think it was Scott who dropped Doug off at our house while you and the "gang" were out to dinner, and Doug and I went sledding on the mountain of snow down the street. Of course you will always be remembered for your singing of "My Way." You may now sing loudly with the angels up above..... You will forever be in our hearts. Love you!
