When I first went to work at YPG, Ed was my very first supervisor there, he was so welcoming and friendly, he was like a father figure to me and made me feel so welcomed. We become the best of friends after, I left the finance division years ago we lost contact with each other, I thought Ed would live forever he was so happy and well adjusted with life, I wish now that I had sought him out earlier to see how his life was coming along but now that he's step into eternity that is no longer possible. Ed, I really miss you my good buddy.

Gina and Hector. I am sorry for your loss. Your dad was pretty great in music and the stories of his life. Infectious laugh and fun to be around. It has been awhile since I sat around with you both and your dad. Just know I will always remember those times with such fond and happy memories. Rest in Peace Eddie, you'll be so welcomed in your kingdom.
