It's 2am fri morning. I found out today that Ed passed away. I never knew until now. I can't sleep. Eddie was one of the classiest, most respectful people I have ever met. He always had a nice thing to say and never complained. He was always worried about keeping his account current and would often walk in unannounced to pay a bill and make another appointment. I will miss him alot. There are only a few people like him that you are lucky enough to meet in your life. I'm glad I knew Ed

Eddie had a positive influence in my life. He offered me some of the best career advice I've ever gotten when we worked together at Ford. I'm eternally grateful. He was a true gentleman. I'm sure God has a special place set aside in heaven for Ed.
