Ed enjoyed spending time at the cabin, spending time with his family, working out at the health club, hunting, fishing, listening to music, four wheeling, politics, and enjoyed working with his clients.

I am so sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed chatting with Ed. He had such a quick wit.
Ed was a very special friend to Red & me. He provided laughs and deep caring and strong support. He is missed very much. My sympathy and love, Jane.
