My deepest condolences to Ed’s family.
To Ed’s family and long list of friends: My deepest sympathies. I knew Ed from Dallas Pistol Club and through mutual friends. He always had a kind thing to say when he greeted folks, always had an upbeat attitude that he intended to be contagious. It was an honor to know him and he will be missed by a wide cast of characters.
Rest in Peace Ed, condolences to his family and friends. Thanks for your service to our country AND to the Kessler School in Oak Cliff.
God bless you, Ed. Thank you for your service to our country and to the Richardson Police Department. See you later!
