When you talk about excellence and class you are talking about Ed Asid! As a Past Exalted Ruler and a Past District Deputy from the Wallingford Elks I had the privilege of working closely with Ed! He was meticulous in all he did. He was always a gentleman, and respected by all who knew him!! I wish I could be there to pay my respects to this Giant of a Man in person, but I will be there in spirit! Rest in Peace Ed!! As your ship sails to another shore, and although your clocks dial has stopped on eleven, the “VACANT CHAIR” you leave behind will be a constant reminder to all of us of your devotion!! Thanks Ed!!
