Ed did not know a stranger and never forgot a name. He had a contagious, infectious, outrageous sense of humor. It would be rare to find him at a loss for words and a joke. His sons were the glue in his life and he often spoke of how proud he was of the men they had become. He loved his grandchildren, nieces, and nephews…they loved him.
