Jan, Tim, Kim and Todd,
Many warm and wonderful memories have come back to me since I heard of Ed's passing on. He was a great teacher and mentor in all of the years that I was a student and employee with him. He will be missed by everyone. Even though we have lost touch over the last few years, quite often I think of him and how we worked togeter and the things that he taught me. I will always be proud to have known him.
Know that you all are in our prayers.

We will miss Ed more than we can adequately express. He was a kind, generous, honest and honorable gentleman, in both his personal and business life, and we were proud to know him and count him among our friends. We will especially miss him at the Air Force Football game tailgate parties and the many other social engagements which we mutually attended as part of the "tailgate couples group".

I only encountered Ed’s presence a couple of times but in the few times, at a couple football games, my home warming, awards banquets, and company picnics, I realized he was a kindred spirit. His wonderful open spirit and caring smile let people know that he was someone who cared. I remember him attending my son’s football game and saying how wonderfully he played and If only his coach could play him more. He seen the talent of people even before anyone else could see it. Ed rest in peace my friend and condolences to your family as you embrace your new family in heaven.
