I was a kid in the so-called Five-Roads area of North Adams, MA (1956-61) when Eddie worked for his father at Shep and Sons!He helped lots of kids to form characters and values. Good-bye, Shep!

I'm so glad that you and Judi had 4 1/2 years of smiles and laughter together. I appreciate all you did to make my sister happy. Every where you went, you left people smiling. You won't be forgotten.

As we always said, "we are a team." I will always miss the other half of our team. Hopefully, the fantastic memories will outweigh the sadness one day. I can't express how important and special you were in my day to day life. You will live on in my heart forever.

Missing you,
Your loving wife, Judi

Prayers and love to Judi and the family. Ed was such a sweet and happy man, always quick with a smile and a twinkle in his eye as he shared a joke or story. We will miss him.
