Ed was a great Manager, Mentor and Friend. His positive attitude was always uplifting. He knew how much our career mean't to us, and with his constant support, we never had to worry about falling... he was our safety net! Although it was his time to sail off into the horizon, we will all miss him and his great sense of humor, but know we'll meet again.

We knew Ed for over 7 years.

He was not only a very good manager, he was a caring person.

Ed always asked us how we were doing. He really cared.

He never missed the chance to congratulate us on a job well done.

He was the first to laugh at our jokes, and he always had one to tell.

Ed's words were always motivating.

He was a very talented speaker.

We will miss you Ed.

Having known you and worked with you from 1977 (Chapman-Kikkert days) until I left in 1987 (Naughton Realtors) there was never a time when your cheerful smile and wonderful attitude didn't make it a joy and a pleasure to be around you. You will be greatly missed by many!

Ed was a one of a kind person who I had the priviledge to know via Coldwell Banker Southeast real estate where Ed was the broker. He was highly respected and beloved by all who knew him and he will be dearly missed by his family and friends and co-workers at CB southeast. Blessings Ed! We miss you!
