He defined the word uncle for me as a child. He was kind, friendly, playful...and really funny. I never forgot him, or my gratitude. I wish him, and all his loved ones, the very best.

A wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend who touched many lives in so many ways. You will be missed by all who had the honor of knowing you. May you RIP.

Shirley, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sad time. Ed was so friendly and always had time to just talk. He will be missed. To be with someone 63 years is really something, but I bet it was pretty easy to be with Ed.
