My deepest sympathy for your loss. I was the supervisor on 2nd shift and worked with Ed. Over 13 years we worked closely together prior to his medical leave. He was a great help to me and I can honestly say I grew to love him and had a great deal of respect for him. You are in my prayers. Paul Lydon
