What a wonderful guy Spider was. I had the opportunity to meet back up with him at Farr St. after not seeing him for years, what fun and stories we had. Spider will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Ed & Nancy became our friends while the four of us were newlyweds living in Schultzville, and although the miles kept us separated, the friendship remained.
Our sympathies are with Coleen, Lisa and families at this time. We will forever miss our 'Buddy" Ed.
