I have many fond memories of working with Ed at BellSouth. I always felt that I could rely on him to do a thorough job as well as be a good friend. I am sorry that I was not able to be at his memorial service and to be around his great family. My thoughts and prayers are with them all.

So very sorry to learn of Ed's passing. I remember him well from BellSouth. He was always in a good mood and could see the humor in just about everything! My condolences to all the family.
