I'm so sorry to hear of Ed's passing. I grew up across the street from him and his family and I babysat his two children. I remember camping and floating on the Ichetucknee River with them. Many great memories. St. Augustine lost a great man.

I am sad to hear of Ed's passing. Many childhood memories were made with the Alford family on Matanzas Cir. Watching Ed teaching others in the garage was always cool. Praying for peace for the family.

I did not know Ed personally but feel as though I knew him through his daughter, Kelly. It sounds like he was a wonderful person. A part of him will always live on through Kelly and everyone whose life he touched.

Ed was a very good guy who really liked people. He had a very generous smile and loving heart. It was rare that I saw him over the past few years but always a pleasure. He knew great love and I wish him peace. I wish his family peace in knowing his love and his new life in heaven. He was blessed on earth with all of those who loved him dearly. xxoo
