We are so sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. He was one of the best men I have ever known and a dear friend to my son. Our hearts go out to Jean and the family.’
Thank you for the kind words. He was a great man and a great friend to many.

Kelly, i am stunned as i just learned today(5/17/2020)that he had passed. I would always drive by in my truck or bicycle in hope that he was outside. About a year ago i had him squeeze into my race car and fired it up. He was covering his ears but grinning from ear to ear. Wish i had taken a picture of it. He was as good as they come. I will miss my friend. – Todd Bailey
Thank you. He was definitely a great soul.
