My dad was a very intelligent and creative guy. He was a confident leader and I think all of his children found him to be particularly enjoyable during his retirement years. Thanks for your kind words and prayers.

I am saddened to to hear of ED's passing. I worked for Ed at Agway for a number of years and he was instrumental in helping with my career. Ed inspired many creative and innovative changes in Agway. My prayers and thoughts are with Ed's family.
