My Dad always had great things to say about Uncle Ed, his Mom’s brother. The times I saw him were always good times with many smiles. So sorry he is gone, thinking of my Dad, Kim and the rest of the family. Hope uncle Ed is hanging out with his sister and wife. 💙
Kim, I can only imagine your feeling of loss right now. Thinking of you during this time.
I had only known Ed for a very short time but in that time I had grown very fond of him…I found Ed very easy to talk to and loved to listen to his life stories…he was well traveled and I think that he had a very full life and now I believe he is at peace with his true love…..RIP from Dave and Sarah
