Raven and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Ed will always be remembered for his kind, caring and giving nature. My sister Cindy and her husband Walter, cared so much for Ed… he was their adopted father that they loved dearly. As you and your family will deeply miss him,. so will they…. and I will miss the warm, charming stories of Ed. I met him once, but felt like I knew him well through Cindy and Walter.
Ed touched so many… and the memories he leaves behind will always shine bright and never dim.
Blessings to you and your family.
