    It was nice getting to know Ed through his illness. I was thankful to keep him company and visit with him.

    Ed lived in the apt. above mine in 1975. I was only 18 and he was a mentor to me. He loved the Beach Boys and drove a very old pick up truck that we would repair together. One of the nicest people I’ve ever known. We were always broke but Ed’s humor kept me going through those tough times.

    I met Ed at Normandy HS. We became friends and though the years had many good times together. I’m sorry I didn’t touch base with him when he became ill.I will truly miss you. Rest in peace my friend! :~(

    May you rest in peace. Sorry I lost contact with you after you looked me up in California while in the Navy. Had many a good time in the ECH. Love them beach boys. Thanks for being a part of my life and helping me out when I needed. You will be missed
