Dear Linda, Chris, Debbie & A.J., You have received and seen our heartfelt sympathy at Ed's unexpected passing. As family we will all miss his unique personality and intelligence !! We have so many GREAT memories to thank him for. First and foremost, we were all part of a small closely knit family, although Ed, Joyce and Ron sometimes referred to themselves as the "Outlaws". Ed introduced George to the Indy 500 in 1972 which led the way to a 20 year career as an Official at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and several other Indy car race tracks across the United States. George was accepted as a life member, a few years ago, of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Oldtimers Club ---- who would have guessed what you started Eddie ??!!!!! Thank You!! Ed was always looking for chances to start the "Great Debate" --- and he almost always won!! Special occasions - Christmas, sometimes birthdays and sometimes just a chance to get together provided all of us with so many great laughs ( and even a few tears) - the backbone of FAMILY !! These memories will help us through these difficult times. Linda, Chris, Debbie and A.J. - we trust that your memories of Ed as a Husband, Father and Grandfather will help to ease the shock and pain of what you now feel and carry you through the days, months and years ahead. We love you. We will miss you Eddie, for years to come, until we meet again !! All Our Love -- George & Joyce

Hello Linda and family. Glenda & I would like to offer our sincere condolences to you & your family.
