Far too many good memories to share on a single web page! I spent so much time at the Guy’s house, growing up with Chris and Steven: Ed’s happy, fun, and positive spirit was a constant staple of my childhood. I was lucky to have friends with such a great Dad. Ed, you will be greatly missed!

Our condolences to Ruth, Steven and Christopher. We are neighbors, and for the past nine years we have enjoyed bantering with Ed whenever we saw him in the front yard. He was so funny; he always made us laugh. We will really miss him.
