    I cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear this news, what a loss.
    So talented, funny, intelligent and just all-around charismatic.
    He was there for me at my sister’s service in 2000.
    I really appreciated that he came down for that. Just shows
    the kind of character he had.
    There’s a special place in Heaven, I think for Ed, he’s one of the
    good guys.
    Cathy
