My friend. As I looked at the obituaries this a.m., I am shocked to see Ed's name. We worked together many years. Went through good and bad times together. I was in his wedding. He was at my retirement party. So sorry I could not be at the funeral, as I just learned of his passing. I could tell many stories of our experiences. What a friend & work partner. You will be remembered. You will be missed. I am sad. Rest in Peace , my friend. God bless You.
