Candy and Family,
I was so shocked to see that Ed had passed away. He was such an excellent person and ALWAYS talked about you and your family. I can remember him always trying to make an extra buck anyway he could while we raised money for Children’s Miracle Network charity at Speedway. He loved talking to people and making them laugh. He was an honorable man with high integrity and I always appreciated all he ever did for me. He gave me much knowledge that I needed and was a good friend and father figure to me after I lost my father. It makes me so sad that I won’t be able to attend on Saturday but know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
