I'm gonna miss your dad. Ed was a great man & also a great boss! Yeah we did insurance things but also the small things I will remember. Like cutting the grass, wrapping games, catching rats, and of course..."doing the bank" and he'd give a big "Yippie!" when we balanced! It has been an honor working for him for 21 years....I have so many memories of him. He treated me like his 2nd son.....I'll miss him!

Although I can't begin to feel your loss and heartache, I do know that Ed was an amazing man, who truly believed and lived the meaning of "Family". After all, the proof is in how he and Nancy raised their own children. Rest in Peace, Ed. With love to all......
