It's hard to know where to begin in remembering Ed. I will always remember his kindness, generosity and gentle spirit. He spent many hours at our Holiday Lake home helping Eric put in windows, build a shed, add a much needed deck or helping with anything that needed done. He knew so much about building and I will never forget all the help he provided. He was so loving to Adam and the grandkids. He and Eric passed on their love of fishing to all of them and will be with them the rest of their lives. In that respect, Ed's spirit will live on in them forever. While I grieve at his passing, I can't help but think of his joy at being reunited with Andi, the love of his life, and his youngest son, Eric. I miss them all greatly. I can picture them now fishing in heaven! He was the best father-in-law ever. My sincere condolences to Cary and Brad and Candy and all of his surviving relatives. He was a kind, gentle and patient soul and will never be forgotten.

Ed was one of the very best brother-in-laws anyone could ever have! He loved and cared for my sister Andi with an everlasting love and devotion! My family always looked forward to being able to be with them. Randy and Brian loved golfing with Ed and learning from him. Kimberly and Andi were kindred spirits! I thank the Lord for his influence in my family's lives! Ed was a very gentle and kind man! He will be missed! My sympathy to Cary, and Brad & Candy! We love you!
