Faye,
Ed has reached many hearts and one was mine. He was a great friend and co-worker who would help anyone out at any time. He was quick tempered but we laughed at that. I will always remember him getting his buddy Sam. In one of our many talks that Ed and I had he would always express how much he loved you and his sister. He was a good man and many will miss him. I am here for you Faye.*
Faye, it goes without saying that Ed was a wonderful person, but he was also a faithful employee. His positive attitude and endearing smile made a difference. We will truly miss him.

Faye…Linda and I are shocked and saddened by the loss of Ed. He was a kind man with a wonderful smile and a good friend, and the BEST warehouse Mgr. I’ve ever seen. If the Lord needs someone to keep his inventory straight…he got the best! Our love to you. Nelson & Linda
