Slugger, Tammy, Eddie, Pam & Crystal & Keith; I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. I met Pam when I was 9 years old, and spent many, many days and nights with her and her family. Ed was a gentle soul and the best Dad! I know how hard of a time this is for you all. I Love you all, and I am praying for you.
