Ed was a dear friend of mine for over 20 years. We had many very good times together however his daughter's illness and eventual death took precedence over our friendship and he returned to Cortez to care for her and his grandchildren. He is/was one of the most wonderful and giving men I have ever known and for his friendship I will be eternally grateful. Rest in Peace dear friend ; you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you.
