Few people know that I got my Uncle Ed involved in the world of horses and dogs. He mucked stalls and went to dog shows. He was well known in both circuits for his friendliness, constant smile and of course sense of humor.

I dragged Uncle Ed everywhere. While he lived in PA he was my friend and companion. He always made me laugh. I will miss your crooked smile and smarkling mischievous eyes. I love you always. Thank you for spoiling me.

Your loving niece. I will never forget you.
