I first met Ed in Jan 1981 & he was my trainer at the AZANG. Lot of fun to work with. Lot of memories in the days since I got word of his death. I got a e-mail on Sat that Earl Sharpless who Ed worked with out of Clark AB had also died. Ed was able to help Earl get his VA benefits as well. I hooked them up a few years ago. I knew Earl from my AF days 1962-65. Have to say I will really miss both of them !!!!!

Ed & Georgia were dear friends of mine. I will miss him so very much. He was so active & involved in his community and our neighborhood. He so enjoyed flying his drones, building his Lego models, creating wonderful cross stitch art, showing off pictures of his & Georgia’s travels and continuing his education at the community college. Rest in peace Ed. My deepest condolences to his family for this loss.
