Carolyn and I met Ed & Connie at the Quad Cities Photography Club and very much enjoyed chatting with them. Ed was responsible for me getting involved with PSA and I also had the pleasure of judging a print competition with him. He was so fond of traveling and regaling us all with the tales of people and places he visited. He was a sweet man and is greatly missed.

Our condolences to the entire family. We were neighbors for 40+ years and watched the family grow along with ours. Lots of memories of Ed and how proud he was of his photography and their travels.
May he rest in peace now with Connie.
