It´s been almost a year now and I miss my old friend. We never thought poor health would take us, rather it would be the result of some dumb, goofy thing we did involving bicycles, cars and then motorcycles.......even a chainsaw. I plan to enjoy a beer in your memory on November 3 every year. Rest in peace Ed

Lorraine, Ronnie, Marsha, Donna and families,
I am so sorry your loss.
We go back so many years and Ed will be missed. He was always at my house either playing quoits or having a beer. He always had a smile and lived life to the fullest! Although years have passed and life changes, he will always be my friend and I´m glad I have memories of all the good times we shared.
