Jan and family. I was so sorry to hear of Ed's passing. He was a nice person and I always remember him from helping you when you coached the various girls teams. I will remember him in my prayers

For many years, Ed was an usher every Saturday at 5:00 Mass at St. Bernardine's church in Forest Park. No one ever grumbled about having to contribute to the collection when Eddie was there. Instead, they looked forward to seeing his smiling face when he approached them with the collection basket. Eddie will be greatly missed by his many friends.

Did he work at Meister Brau back in the 60's. If so, I worked with him back then. Sorry to hear of his passing.

If a person dies, can they live again? Almighty God (Psalms83:18) says yes! Jesus Christ is living proof. So, take courage, be strong, God's kingdom is coming. (John5:25,28-29)
