Ed was one of our most worked headliners. Everyone loved him! He referred several acts to me...he was always trying to help out the new guys he thought had a chance to make it.

Comedy will never be the same .... Ed was a unique talent who will be extremely missed. I'm glad I had the opportunity to be a part of his audience on many many occassions and to call him a friend!



I'm sure right now he's entertaining the angels in heaven!!



Keep 'em laughing Ed! You will always be in my thoughts.

My dear friend Ed, or as he would say backwards, "DE" was one of the 1st comics I ever saw perform back at the cottage. His friendship and support to myself and many others comics will never be forgotten. Thanks for the inspiration Ed!

I first met Ed @ the Cottage, but became real frends @ Who's. I'll always remember him for his generosity- both of his time and his talent, his love for family and friends, and his gracious spirit. Here's a toast to you, Ed!
