Janet and family. Your Daddy was the best. Ed was the first neighbor we met when we moved nextdoor to his family. He was kindest and most sincere man. Anything we needed, he was there to help. From tinkering with projects with my husband outside to shutting my garage door when I forgot to loving on our dog. His absence will leave a void that cannot be replaced. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
