So sorry to hear about your loss, I will kept the family in my prayers.
Todd and I were saddened to hear of Ed’s passing. We enjoyed many visits with him when we would go for walks. He loved working around his yard and giving Max time to run on the deck. Ed always asked about our pup, who has gotten too old for walks. We will sure miss Ed and Max. Our deepest sympathy for all his family.
Todd & Sue Fenske
my granddaddy died when I was young, and my father was never in the picture. However, when my aunt married , I was 4, and she gave me Uncle Ed… my own personal Super Man. my Uncle Ed was the biggest toughest and coolest man on the planet. For many years, he was my only hero.
I was their flower girl when they got married, I remember after that incredibly long Catholic wedding they turned to walk back down the aisle. I remember yelling, “Don’t forget me” and they both took a hand, and the three of us walked down the aisle together. As I went thru my troubled teenage years….Uncle Ed would listen to my angst and often tell me I was silly. However, I never questioned if I was loved. His quiet, reassuring way got me thru some tough times. As a grown woman I could always count on his humer, his sarcasm and his love. I’m so glad you and Aunt John are together again. I will love you forever.
We will miss him immensely. We did not know until yesterday he had died. There are at least 2 messages on his phone from me worrying about not hearing from him. His Christmas popcorn was all ready for him. How do you replace such a man?
