    No one could ever have had a more wonderful brother-in-law. Ed was the most generous man who took care of both his family and Polly's family without question. My promise to you Ed is that I will always look out for and take care of the love of your life, Polly. I love you and will greatly miss you. Will see you when Heaven calls me. Lindy

    Ed was a wonderful caring and witty gentleman who we were honored to call a friend. We will miss his "dry" sense of humor. May Polly and Ed's family hold fond memories of their lives with him. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with you all. Patricia Savage and Roger Johnson
