Ed was a great story teller which include: “I don’t have a birthdate, it was my brothers. I think my mom cheated because she didn’t want to have 2 birthday cakes in one week.” “ I didn’t have any children, its impossible ya know, I don’t care what the government says. They didn’t do DNA so we don’t know for sure.” The story of the baseball game where he was told not to touch the ball in the playing field. He didn’t have his own name, as he was named after two of his uncles and his last name was his fathers. He said he died twice, but got sent back.

The family would like to thank The William Childs Hospice House for the care and compassion they showed our loved one in his final days.
