Today should not be a day of grief but a celebration of life. Ed had lived his life in the way he what to.

Ed was a loving and caring and protective Son, Dad, brother, Uncle and best friend. Ed would give you his shirt off his back if you needed it. Ed kicked it hard through the rough times. always smiling and having fun this is the kind of man Ed was.

Ed was a hardworking man. Love to work on cars in the garage with his brothers. Ed was very skilled man one may say jack of all trade’s master of none. I never knew anything that Ed could not fix. Even mend broken hearts. Ed took great pride and joy in his work.

His smile would light up a room when he entered it.

I remember one day Ed and his brothers and sisters were sitting at the table talking and laughing. Ed bangs his elbow and started to rub it and said to us oh my freaking knee. We all broke out laughing and teased Ed for many days after. We laughed, cried, and acted crazy and played tricks on each other throughout his life.

We will always love you Ed and think of you from the good times when ever our hearts get heavy with sorrow and tears.

Ed will live in on in our memories and always in our hearts.

He will be missed and may he rest in peace..
