Howard aka "Ed", was best known as "One Step Ahead Ed" to those closest to him. Ed is survived by his loving wife Jennifer, daughter Stephanie (Steve) Pride, son Jason (Meghan) Bradbury, and his cherished grandchildren Cheyenne, Wyatt, Jorja and Coia. Being a grandpa, aka "Ghee" was his most precious and proud accomplishment. Ed was always the life of the party at any and all gatherings. If he wasn't the DJ he was entertaining with one of his amazing stories. He was a friend so so many and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
