A wonderful guy who was liked and respected by all who knew him. We were close friends many years ago in Palestine. We spent many hours playing football and other sports back in the 50's. He was just a good man and all of us are so sorry to hear of his passing. Rest in Peace Edwin. God Bless you and your family.

I have so many memories of Ed aka Mr. Hollywood. He was a strong Christian-he loved our Lord. He walked and talked the teachings from our Lord. He always had a big bear hug for me with a big smile. Oh I will miss Ed so very much, but the good news, I will see him on the other side down the road. Thank you for your friendship and kind words to Ronnie and I. We shall always remember you and cherish your friendship.
