Ed's warm smile and warm heart will be sorely missed. He supported many an organization, but I met him mainly through Lone Star War Dance. He enjoyed singing on the drum and took his responsibility as our Drum Keeper to heart. Ed will be missed at the drum, but his spirit will ever live there each and every time that drum is struck.
So sorry for your loss Edna. Ed will be missed.
We are saddened by the loss of another good and honorable man. Such a wonderful smile, words, and guidance will be sorely missed. Our prayers to the family and friends who will miss him.
My life has been made rich by the many friends I've had, particularly the special ones like Ed. I really can't remember a time when he didn't have a ready smile to share along with an ever-present sense of humor. To be with Ed was to forget your troubles and have your heart lifted by his genuine friendship. No question, Ed was always there for his friends. He was someone you could count on, who took his responsibilities seriously, whether it was his family, friends, or the organizations he supported. This world and my life are truly the richer for having known Ed, my friend, my Hites.
Eddie was a sweet, kind, loving man. Although I didn't get to spend a lot of time with Eddie, he always made me and my family feel loved. He told great stories. He made great breakfasts. And he just liked people. My wife Danyell, and children Jordan and Jackson all really loved Eddie, and we will all miss him dearly.
I will always remember Eddie's help with 2005 National Conference in Grapevine. I will also remember us in Aneheim Saturday night fellowship. A great man in my books and a good friend. Rest in Peace and we shall meet again. Edna I am here for you.
