Our Family has such endearing memories of Ed and Charlie as youngsters, always playing Army Men, or War. They had great nerf gun fights, and found all kinds of creative games to play, and would be lost for hours in their story for the day.
Ed's contagious smile and laughter, and gift of imagination, will remain in our Hearts and Memories Always...
The Herbert Family

Ed was a true friend. He always tried to put a smile on the face of those around him. I'm sad that I hadn't gotten the chance to see him for a few years but my memories of him are still vivid; He was a great guy and a truly loving person. He cared about his friends immensely and that is something that should always be cherished with the memory of him. I am so sorry for your loss. I know that Ed will be shining down on all of his friends and family from above.
