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,
