Dennis and Ed worked together for Years, Ed was MORE than a Coworker to Dennis and Myself ... Ed was Family !!!!! Ed Always had a Kind or Encouraging Word when working with Dennis. or if Nothing Else Ed had a Joke or a Story to tell to alleviate the tension or Stress of trying to weld or fabricate something on top of a Feed Mill 60FEET IN THE AIR. I can remember many evenings after work when Dennis talked about how Ed could fix anything and whatever he fixed be it wiring a truck or rebuilding a forklift ...it was fixed RIGHT ! In our Family Ed was and is considered a GREAT Man !!!!! Ed was a True Blue Friend to Dennis... the Kind of Friend You don't Find or Make Very Often. Ed was The Kind of Man whose Word was His Bond.. Sealed with a Handshake and a Nod. Ed drank more coffee and touched more lives with his kindness than anyone could imagine. Fortunately, we were able to visit Ed a couple of weeks ago ! Unfortunately we are Unable to Attend Ed's Memorial Service Today . Our Hearts, Prayers and Most Sincere Condolences Go Out To Ed's Wife and Family ! May God Bless and Keep You All ! AMEN !

I had the fortune of working with Ed for several years. Working in a small private owned business, we were family. He will truly be missed!
