Ed and I were so shocked to hear this! Ted was a very good friend of Ed's since they were kids and Ed thought a lot of him and Vergie. We will keep you all in our prayers for God to be your comfort and strength in the days ahead.

There isn't enough stories to describe the man that you were. You were a wonderful dad, son, husband and one amazing grandfather and great grampa to all the important people in your life. You were selfless I loved all of us very much and it was well-known. I can't describe the pain I feel knowing that I miss you so much already and I hope you know how much we all love you and can't wait to see you again someday! I love you pawpaw!!
