R.I.P. Ed. You were always a wonderful brother (in-law) and uncle for my two children. You so easily slid into their world as small children at a park, crawling through tunnels, going down slides, and running across little bridges. You and Marilyn took them to their first movie theater show, Disney”s “Fantasia”. You helped them fly kites, took them bowling, and shot off a barrel full of fireworks for them. You took one of them to the ER for stitches in his head after a tumble. You and Marilyn started the tradition of movie night in the Granger-White Theater with ice cream for dinner, followed by popcorn as they watched a movie at home. And by the way,, this tradition is being carried on with the new nephews. You taught them how to play with George and Shadow, Ginger, Max, and Sunny. It was fun doing croquet and frisbee in the backyard. And what was a visit without working at least one 3000 or 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle? Yes Ed, you will be missed, but will always hold a special place in our hearts.
