Dear Jean & Family,
Thanks for sharing Ed with our family and especially my father, Tony Kras, who would always be happy to see him. I’m sure that he’s at peace and we will keep you in our prayers in your time of sorrow.
I was surprised and saddened by the death of Eddie. We had some good times together many years ago with Charlie Malboeuf.
Condolences to all the family.
Many good times were had at the Busch farm. Ed was the best brother-in-law a person could ever ask for. He gave generously of his time and talent as a super mechanic. He has always been there for me and my children. Surely he is riding his tractor in the sky. ;and raking in the hay. God Bless you Eddie and rest in peace.
Jean, Ed, Donna & Valerie: Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Ed was truly the “best”. We will miss him.
