I've had the pleasure of working with Ed for the past 10 years and he always wore a smile on his face - one that you couldn't help but smile back at. He will surely be missed by those lives he touched. My condolences to Theresa and Ed's family, you are in my prayers. Ed was a genuine, kind and caring man, and I'm thankful I was given the chance to know him.

A few of us guys had the great pleasure of dining with Ed on most Wednesday evenings. We will sorely miss the witty conversations and his humor! Ed maybe gone from sight but he will always be with us in spirit! See you on the other side my friend!

Ed was one of my favorite people in the office. We had so much in common and could talk for hours about history and music. You will be greatly missed my friend.
