When I heard the news about Ed, I was thunderstruck. Men who are larger than life just are not supposed to leave us! I have known Ed since I was a pretty young kid, and I reveled at his stories. I was always amazed at how he could spin a yarn, or keep a straight face while I stood there listening and wondering if I was hearing the truth or if I was swallowing the hook. Ed cared for people, made them laugh, and stood by them. He even loaned me his Caddy for my prom! Ed's memory will live as long as I do, and I will repeat many of the funny tales and antics to my own young boys (I said many, not all!). Ed, I'll never forget our many hunting trips together, the crazy poker games, the wild fun shared. You were one of a kind. I'm happy to have had you in my life. John Survil
