Dear Cory & Connie,

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you both for the loss of your dad. He was a wonderful man! When I look back at all the memories we share from the past, alot of them are filled with Ed. Planning weddings, building houses, raising the grand-kids, holidays, BBQ's at the pool, skiing ( he gave it his best shot), golfing, there are so many things to hold dear in our hearts. He lived life to the fullest, he loved you both with everything he had. He worked hard and played hard. He taught us all alot. I am grateful to have had him as a father in law. I will hold his memories dear in my heart and keep his memories alive for his Grand-sons. I love you both and I am always there for both of you. Love Always,

Lori

Dear friends; Cory, Connie, Barb, Jim

It isn't the same to miss someone who has moved whom you don't see everyday but know they are still there. A phone call to say hello, to say goodbye is different. Ed is in my heart, I missed him when he moved away, but he was still there to talk to, to say I miss you and Barb and know that you could always come home. Goodbye is different this time. It is eternal and I wish Ed peace. He was too young to die, had too much to give, and I know if he had it to do over, he would change what he knew he could, but didn't! I love him for all he taught me about people, and his quick bright smile and wit. He was a terrific man to work for and I cherish the time I knew him. He has a loving family who will keep his memory alive, and I will not forget the man he was. I love you all, you are all very special to me.

Cory, Connie and Barbara:

I am very saddened to hear about your father and husband (Ed). We are all very lucky to have had such a great man in our lives. Please let me know if there is anything Nicole and I can do to ease your pain.

Your father & husband was a role model in my life. He taught me how to be honest and forthright. I feel very fortunate to have met such an honest, hard-working man.

Sincerely,
