It has been my honor to be Ms. Mika's nurse for the past couple years. I always enjoyed visiting with Ed when he came in to visit her. I will miss seeing him around and always giving me a hard time! Prayers and condolences to his family!

It was my pleasure to work with Ed at the National Museum of WWII Aviation from 2012 to 2014. He was extremely talented as an aircraft restorer and teacher. We had kept in touch after my move to Florida, and I will miss our telephone visits.
