Nancy and I fondly remember the great times we had with Ed and Dolores playing board games 'til the wee hours of the morning, then driving home while the sun was rising. Then we shared 25 more years with them in Pompano Beach, FL. Ed and I shared many Army experiences starting with both of us being drafted within two days of each other in August 1960. I remember how Ed, a newlywed, pined to get on the bus at Fort Leonard Wood to see his beloved Dolores for their first anniversary. He was a wonderful soldier, friend, husband and father, I will miss him always. Phil and Nancy

Our Pompano Beach Club memories of Ed are seeing a warm smile, soft words and great demeanor. Dolores, we hoped and prayed that Ed could have stayed a little longer with you and your family, but God decided that it was time for him to come home and to be at rest. Ed will be missed, but he will live on in our hearts and minds.
