Diana and Sherry, Bud and I want you and the entire family know how sad we are to hear of Ed’s passing. We loved Ed. It was always a treat when he came to the lake. We remember the fish fries and the”gab” sessions there. We enjoyed visiting with him when we saw him at Earl and Linda’s at the beach. Ed was one of the most generous people we have ever known. He was always anxious to share anything that he had. It was a joy to be around him.
We pray that as you remember all the good things and happy times that those memories will help relieve your sorrow. And that you will be filled with God’s peace and comfort. “He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3
With love, hugs, and prayers,
Bud and Barbara Ruddick

Visiting Mr. ED, was one of our most favorite times in our life. 30 yrs ago, it started off as a hunting trip and 30 yrs later we were family. We would come visit a couple times a yr. And he always insisted we stay with him. My most favorite memory was when I would come in after a long day and he would be sitting in his chair waiting for us to get back. He would say " welcome home lady bug". Or when I would wake up and he would say "top of the morning ". His girls have become like sisters to me and they will always be family. Mr. ED you will forever be missed and in our hearts. Until we meet again ...
