I knew Ed for 4 years. He was a great man who loved his family so much and talked about how he was going to see his great granddaughter on Tuesday. I will truly miss him. I am so sorry for your loss and if you need anything please let me know.

I got to know Ed at Walgreens , he wasn't just a customer he became my friend and one of my favorite people to see. We would discuss he love of mushrooms and everything else under the sun. It will be very hard not see him or hear his unique laugh. I will miss him greatly. I am so sorry for his family's loss. He was great.

Lisa and Family,

My deepest sympathy on your loss. I know your grandfather was extremely important to you. I remember your wedding photo when he walked you down the aisle, it was priceless. May he rest in everlasting peace. I am quite sure there were many angels waiting to greet him when he came home.
