Today I looked at my pictures from Patrol 39, summer 1978 on the USS Woodrow Wilson (SSBN-624). Although I have not seen Ed since our youth and last corresponded with him some ten years ago, I wept. “Sailor, Rest your Oar”. Your Shipmate, Patrick Banks

Ed was a joy and a "bright"spot to those of us at the Post Office who knew him and worked with him. His fight was courageous and inspiring. Thoughts and prayers are with you, Debbie, and all your family. Andrea
