My brother Phil and I had taken my mother Catherine to see Ed recently. They were so happy to see each other and to talk about "the good old days". Ed and Barbara were wonderful friends and bridge partners with my parents Frank and Catherine Smith. On behalf of my mother, Catherine, I'd like to extend my deepest sympathy to his family.

Mr. King was the principal of NQHS when I was a student. I remember that he was a kind man and very respectful to all, young and old.
