We are so very sorry about Ed's passing. He was a lovely neighbor--always a welcoming smile and a personality that made you feel special. The family's loss is one that is felt by all who knew him. It was wonderful to hear his grandchildren speak about him at the service, and to hear the legacy of music that he passed on to them. We extend our heartfelt condolences.

DEAR ED WAS THE STAR OF MY WATER AEROBICS CLASS!
HIS SINGING, HIS HUMOROUS COMMENTS AND HIS JOY OF
LIFE GAVE ME SUCH PLEASURE. HE WILL BE HELD CLOSE IN MY HEART FOREVER.
