    Sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. Sincere condolences to Phyllis & Family. We are going to miss Ed’s coffee and donuts on the jobsites.
    A lot of world problems were solved during those coffee breaks. We go back a lot of years of working together. He will be missed by all who knew him as you couldn’t find anyone who cared so much. Remember the good times Phyllis we will.
