It is almost a year since you left. We still need you really bad for your wisdom and advice. We miss you terribly and love you to pieces. Broken hearts won´t heal and the laughter is gone from our lives. Remembering the ornery hubby of life past.

I'm sorry to just be seeing this and missing the memorial service. Ed worked for my Dad and always had a smile and warm greeting for me when I would see him at the quarry. My sincere condolences to the Cox family, with fond memories of Ed.

Ed was great to work with. A stickler for doing things the right way, but always willing to lend a hand or give useful advice. Always had a good story or joke to make a wonderful day. Ed, you will be missed and never forgotten by me.
