Ed and Pat were strong & steady supporters of you boys and the entire program. He became a good friend through our shared experience in wrestling. Our deepest sympathies to you all. Roger
Have had the privilege of knowing Ed for many years and would get together once or twice a year. We would visit for an hour or two and would never run out of things to discuss. Always brought up his pride in serving our country. Ed, Rest In Peace. May God bless your family and your soul.
I worked with Ed at the brewery and at Trane Company. Always enjoyed his good disposition and sense of humor. He was a good man and we will miss him. Our condolences to his family. Tim and Lu Seloover.

Pat,
This made me sad, but made me think of how kind Ed was to Korey, and made me think of all of the great memories of you both. I pray you are comforted in knowing he is in Glory!
