  Hello , although I have never met Pappy Ed, I'm so sad to see someone pass away who brought so much joy in this earth.. it is so rare nowadays ... I will pray for his family and that they will continue to spread joy like he did. We need light in this dark world ✝️

  Ed was a quiet guy. His home was always decorated for holidays and drew families for miles around. He was always working in his yard and always had something nice to say

  While I only met Ed one or two times years ago from my friend Marjorie, I know he had the heart and personality of gold! He was always thinking of his family and doing things for them and always offered his time. The Christmas light display he put out every year for so many to see and enjoy was amazing. I will always remember that display and will always think of him and the beauty he created for others. I know that Ed will be lighting up the sky in the heavens and shining all that light, love and beauty to his family and friends! Sending love and prayers to him and his family!

  Ed was an amazing individual. Met Ed when I returned from Iraq. He was the one that taught me all about our famous x-mass lights. And was always there to help with anything. He will be greatly missed.

  I don't like how we met. But I love that we did. We were put together for a reason. I didn't know you long. But for the time I did I adored you. I especially loved when we would take our walks. I loved when we had deep conversations about our fears. That I understood you. You and your family left a lasting impression on me. I hope you light up the sky! Kara. From Mercy.

  You brought me one of my sweetest, dearest and most beautiful of friends... Thank you. In many ways meeting you was similar to meeting my dad. You were quiet and reserved, funny and firm. Your birthday is the same as my dad's mom.... many layers of connection here. You and your family will always be in my heart ❤️ until I see you again🕊

  Pappy Ed...what an amazing life he had! My favorite memory is him coming to Natty's house, eat and take a nap in the recliner. Then he'd just get up and leave. Happened almost every party. He reminded me of my dad is so many ways. I hope they're hanging out together, fixing stuff and talking about their families. Love you all!
