I´m certainly saddened by the news of Ed´s passing ...... We crossed paths and knew each other early on in grade school...... Grew up through teen years sharing times together....
Ed was for sure a one of a kind human spirit and good person ...
I wish I had taken opportunity to visit and pass some time together in recent years.... !!!
Be and rest in peace Ed ....
Blessings
