June and Family; I was very saddened when Dad told me Ed has passed away. I know he was challenged the last few years with his health, but that never stopped his incredible smile. I will miss his big bear hugs, he always gave an extra squeeze. Although I am not able to attend the funeral services, know that I am there in spirit and thought, remembering the funny Ed, the loud laugh, "The God Father", and the great friend he was to my Dad. All the best to all of you, and hold each other tight. Look forward to seeing you soon. Love Ann Pettifer
