It is with great sadness that I and my family learned of the passing of an old friend. Ed was one of best friends anyone could ask for. He always had kind words and sound advice to give. A great many times he improved the quality of life for those around him with his sense of humor and a good story. He was my mentor at work and in life and his positive influence reflects in my everyday life. I am thankful to have had him in my life if only for a short time. Rest in peace my friend, I miss you!
