Not sure what to say?





I will miss you Ed. The first time I met you I found a closeness to you. You have a great sense of humor, and your coffee was bar none the best. I apologize for not seeing you on your last days on earth. But I hope to have the honor of seeing your smiling face again, and have a cup of coffee with you. You will always be my friend Ed.
