Ed always had a way of cheering you up and bringing laughter into your life. I was an adolescent when he came into our lives and I will never forget how he helped me thru those "experiences". He was like a brother to me and I shall never forget the fishing trips taken with him and his little brother, Jeff. Thank you, Ed, for your kindness & love. To his entire family, my deepest condolences. I truly hope that the memories and good times help fill the void in your lives. He has touched mine!
