Linda & family,
Sorry to hear of Ed's passing. My younger son, a gun collector, said,"That is one man I wish I knew. Everyone always says that Ed was the expert." Thinking of you all.

With deepest sympathy to the family during your time of sorrow. Psalms 46:1 says: God is for us a refuge and strength during this difficult time and may God grant you the comfort to endure.

I loved going over to visit Ed and listening to all those fishing stories, especially the one when he caught a musky almost as tall as him! He was a joy to be around, and I'll never forget his smile:) We love you.

I grew up right down the street from this man and Carol was my good friend. Ed was my 2nd dad and I truly loved him and Janet. He is once again with the love of his life, Janet, and the Lord he worshiped. I know he will enjoy life in heaven even more than he did here on earth. Good bye Ed and I will see you again in heaven. PS: Say hi to my Mom for me. Love Ya,

Ed was one of our favorite people. He once told me of fishing with a woman who was a far better fisherman that Larry O. He had a great sense of humor and We always enjoyed talking with him.
