So sorry to hear of Ed's passing. My husband, John and I were neighbors of his when he lived in The Colony in Granville, Ohio. He always enjoyed reading on his side porch and could be seen there at all times of the day. John and Nancy Heck
I remember Ed and his companion of many years, Marion Dodd, when they lived in Granville, Ohio. Ed and Marion were special friends to many of us who lived in The Colony. Margery Mitchell
"The best thing that ever happened to our family". That's what we always said when Ed and Mom became companions and became a part of our lives. And what an addition he was! Holidays, summers, golf tournaments, graduations and a wedding, so many times together.
So many stories he recounted including the infamous Spring Break one. To our friends who heard it -he became the "Founder of Spring Break". Always a laugh and a story to share. He endeared himself to everyone, the Granville coffee crew and btw the minder of the weekly Lottery pool, the California contingency -Lance and Tina, Wes and Samara, Shawn and Allan to name a few, his surrogate dog Clover who never left his side when he took a very nasty fall.
A kind, patient, thoughtful, loving, funny man. We loved Ed, he was family. Too many memories to recount. My "Words with Friends" buddy, my " almost dad" as he liked to say, my partner in crime at Whits indulging, my endless source of Santa Claus collecting. Your favorite chair, the brown leather recliner you spent innumerable hours enjoying will miss you. The jigsaw puzzle table will miss you. I will greatly miss you in my life, we will all miss your presence. It's a great, great loss and far too soon. I am not ready to let you go Ed but go you must. May Godspeed with all of our love and gratitude for the life you lived and all you meant and mean to us.

I have fond memories of my times with Ed. I met him when he partnered with my wife Carol's sister , Marian Dodds. We spent many times with them in Ohio , Illinois , and other travel locations. One of the best times was when Ed and Marian and Carol and I traveled to Paris together. What a fun trip. Ed was easy to travel with and was interested in everything. A good conversationalist. We remained email and facebook buddies all the way. A former veteran himself , he honored all veterans. Ed was a man of class and that's how he lived his life. A caring and compassionate man with a sense of humor , he will be missed. Thanks for the memories to a good good man.

While at Mt. Union College, Ed and I worked together to interest Life Magazine in covering the A.T.O Fraternity spring break trip to Miami Beach. Ed is featured in one of the pictures. The article is in the April 30, 1951 issue.
