    I'm so sad to hear of Ed's passing. I saw him at our 50th Big Red Class Reunion last summer. Ed was such a gentle man with a big heart. So long, Ed!

    I remember Ed as one of the easiest people to be friendly with. As a younger classmate, he was always kind and open with me, and welcomed me into his friendship "circle." My sincerest sympathies to his entire family.
