Ed, it was a blessing having you in my life. I know June was excited to see you and all the other Submarine shipmates. Rest your oars - we have the watch. Until we join you at the warriors table to tell sea stories.

A good man and submarine veteran will be missed. My parents are now swapping stories with Mr. Ed and Ms. June in Heaven. Fair winds and following seas.
