Dear Danny, Cindy, Ryan, Lizzy, Ben and Family,

I am thinking about all of you during this time. I did not know your precious father/grandfather, but I know you and your amazing family. I have always heard how special "Grandad" was and what a kind and loving man he was to all. I know he will be missed dearly.

Love,

When I think of Uncle Ed I think first of his smile. He had a great smile. I also think of the amazing love he had for Aunt Janet. She truly was the love of his life. That was obvious to anyone who saw the two of them together.
He was one of the sweetest men I've ever known. In recent years on those rare occasions when I had an opportunity to spend time with him, he never left without telling me that I was "still a fine looking woman". Now that's a sweet, sweet man. He must have known that he would make me smile. I'll miss him.
