Sending love and condolences. I always looked forward to visits with (great) Uncle Ed. The Irish must have been thinking of him when they mentioned "a song in his heart and a smile in his eye"! What a wonderful man and long life full of love.

Jim, Just reading the obituary, seems your dad had a great life, and a terrific legacy. He must have been so proud of you and I am sure his family. My dad died in 1998, much younger, and it changes your life no matter how prepared you are. If you ever want to talk about it, or talk about your dad, give me a call. My deepest condolences to you and your family Jim.... d
