Ed was a rare gem on this earth. We are very blessed to know him and call him our friend. The angels are smiling because he is with them now. Knowing Ed,he's probably already directing a play!

Ed, or Eddie as the family knew him, was my cousin, our mothers were sisters. Growing up in Gallipolis, it seemed that almost every day I was with Ed. We went trick or treating together. We went swimming together. We played together and we fought, with each other and beside each other. He was the closest I had to a brother during my childhood and although we lost contact and seldom saw one another in the past several years, I loved him like a brother and will miss him dreadfully.
