Dear Cherie, Bob, Sandy, Jayne, Don and Bill,
Remembering Uncle Ed and all the fun times at the cottage and all the times the brothers got to together to help each other with their remodeling projects. Seemed like one of them always had something going on. Will be thinking of all of you on Tuesday and wish I could be there. Hope the 4 brothers are sitting together with grandpa and grandma looking down on us and sharing a beer. Kathy

Very sad to hear of Uncle Ed's passing. He's probably having one of those 99 bottles of beer on the wall.
One of my favorite memories of Uncle Ed: Spending a week or 2 up north at the cottage with your guys during the summers and him always having those candy bars stashed under the front seat of his vehicle!
Dad always said Ed was the best shoemaker in town!
