Such a beautiful story of his life. I know you are sad but also at peace because you know you will see him again.
It was a great sense of loss when we learned of Ed’s passing. May it comfort the family to know so many people care and are thinking of you and your family at this time. What started over 25 years ago as a business relationship grew into a kindred friendship. It was a privilege to have known Ed. I can see Ed & Ouida Jo holding hands in Heaven. Remember that “Those that live in our hearts never die.”
Lisa, I truly am sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. He was a great friend, coworker and golfing buddy. I used to stay in touch via email. I really liked your Dad, he was a good man!
Ed, enjoyed our many years together with “the cabin” and will miss your wisdom and advice. Help those angels as you have us.
One of the finest man I’ve known and, although I know where he is, I’ll really miss him.
My condolences to Eds family. We’ve lost a great guy and friend. We will miss him. Mary and my prayers are with the family.
Home with Jesus and Ouida. Ed and Ouida are two of the sweetest people to have walked this earth. Love them both
Lisa, may God Bless your Dad!
My heartfelt regrets and sympathy to all of Ed’s family at the time of this loss. Lisa Jo, I regret that previous commitments did not allow my attendance. Jerry

I will always remember Ed as a good friend and feel fortunate to have known him for a short time.
We want to express our condolences on the passing of our friend Ed. We know that he was ready to be with the Lord. Though we had not known him for many years, we appreciated his support and encouragement in our ministry. God bless and comfort all of you.
Lisa, its impossible to express in words how much I enjoyed Ed’s friendship. Ed was a true Christian man, that never strayed from his believe. He was a great help to me when I was trying to teach Sunday School. I will miss him very much. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Ed was a great boss and one of the most honest and honorable human beings I have ever met. I will truly miss him.
Ed will be missed!
