I met Ed later in his life. I was one of his care workers who then became a close friend. Eddy was the Uncle I never had. He always told a great story with a twinkle in his eyes. Always a gentleman and full of great wisdom. He could always settle me down. I enjoyed my time and friendship with Eddy. I will always miss my dear friend Eddy. Thinking of you always, love Jackie - Posted by: Jacquelyne Monch (Close friend) on: Jan 30, 2012

I was saddened by the passing of Ed. We grew up together in the Logan & Ellen area. Ed was a KIK Cola driver and delivered to the Grand Central Foods, Logan & Laura. (my first job) I joined the WPD in 1955 and worked with Ed. I always admired Ed . I also knew Barbara who I believe was the Sister of Bob Burns who was in my Daniel class. Ed & Barb first lived in the Hollinquist Block at Logan & Ellen. They were both gems. Sincere condolences to the family. Ron Truesdale - Posted by: Ron TRUESDALE (Friend) on: Jan 02, 2007
