Ed was my acting teacher at Broward Community College. He was a phenomenal teacher. He took our class on a trip to NYC where we got to tour the One Life to Live set and go see a play. It was one of my best memories and I thought about him afterward because he was so encouraging and filled with excitement about acting. I was sorry to see this obituary. I´m writing this so his loved ones will know that he made an impact on the lives of other people. I am grateful to have met Ed.
