I just heard the news of Ed's passing and wanted to extend my thoughts and prayers to your family. I was fortunate to be able to meet Ed and loved every minute of him telling me stories of his life and family. I will never forget him and feel extremely blessed to have been able to help him move and get to know him.

Down under here, and on the other side of the world, and ver sorry to hear that Ed is gone. Had not spoken in years, but an old friend, a fraternity brother, and fellow Marine sorely misses him. The world will be a grimmer place! Condolences to a family I never met.
