Ed always treated me good, i respected him a good guy.
Happy memories of him when I would come to Beaver falls in the summer when we were teanagers and then he would come to Clarion county to hunt deer
My heart goes out to all of Ed’s siblings in the loss of their brother. It is hard to think of all those in the family that were a part of our lives since childhood and now they are gone. My love to all of you.
Ed was a great guy and a dedicated farmer. I am the pastel artist who painted the portrait of Nico Polled Legacy.

Ed & I worked at the same plant for many years. We formed a very special friendship between us during that time. We were there for one another thru good times & bad. When Ed retired I loss a very dear friend but in 2017 when I loss my son Ed came to his viewing…came back into my life as the very same dear friend he had been for years. I feel very humbled, very blessed to have been such good friends with Ed, to have known him & loved him. I find myself smiling in knowing him & Rita are once again reunited. Ed may be gone from our sight but never from our hearts. God Bless him & all his loved ones. May he RIP??
