You have lost a wonderful Gentleman. I will remember Ed for his calm, pleasant and positive demeanor. A true friend to my parents [Jack & Katie] and a sincere inquirer of what and how I was doing. It had been sometime since I had contacted Ed, but a phone call to request his attendance at my Mom’s 90th Birthday celebration brought me back in touch with this easy to talk to man from my youth. I asked if he and Verna could attend, he answered yes of course we would be pleased to attend. It was a pleasure to be in his company again, realizing the major effort that he and Verna had gone to be with us at the party. Ed’s example of courage, friendship and perseverance will remain with me always.
My sincere condolences for your loss.
