Ed was one of my first electrical supervisors. Working for Ed made life easier for myself and other workers also.

When Ed was the Sioux electric shop supervisor, I remember he would come around the corner after last break and holler out 'Who's going to work overtime tonight?' And then if there weren't enough volunteers. He would point and say 'You and you are forced'.But, if a person really had something to do that night Ed would always try to arrange for them to be able to go home. I enjoyed working for him. My deepest condolences.

Rita, words cannot express. The world was a better place with Ed in it! Miss him already and summer's not even here yet! I'm REALLY going to miss chatting & laughing with him about North County! If there is ANYTHING that Kirk & I can do to help out in this chaos - we're just a call away. We mean that! I know he'd do it for us! God bless Ed, and you guys that remain behind! xoxoxo

I worked with Ed on outages at Labadie and for him as an electrician at Sioux and then as a tech at Sioux. He was good to work for and truly one of a kind.
