Known for his warm personality, sharp wit, and generous spirit, Ed made friends wherever he went. 

Ed and Doug shared over 30 years together, a partnership filled with love, laughter, and companionship. They were a well-known pair in the local community, often seen enjoying a cold beverage at their favorite spots, engaging in friendly banter, and spending time with their beloved dogs—first Dodger and Bo, and now Nero and Luna.
