Carla and Craig again our deepest sympathy go out to the both of you . My most memorable memory of your father is watching him walk across the street, shirt unbuttoned, Manhattan in one hand and poker money in the other.. He was always the life of the card game.

Craig and Carla and Families,
John and I are so sad to hear of your Dad’s passing. Ed was a wonderful guy and very proud father and grandfather. In this difficult time, we pray you find comfort and peace.
John and I remember the great parties held in that very cool basement.. Miller beer, fresh perch dinners, and many duck decoys to ooh and aww over. Love and Hugs . John & Rockie Discher
Carla and Craig, I’ve known you as two sweet children in pictures that were so proudly displayed on your dad’s desk. This takes me back to the late sixties at Meisel Hardware. As life takes us down separate roads, it’s been many years since I’ve seen your dad. I enjoyed the years we worked together. Sending my sincerest sympathy, Patricia (Burnham) Dishaw, Freeland, MI
Carla, and Craig, I am so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. I will remember them fondly as I think back of growing up on Maple Street. You Dad would often see me walking to school in the morning and offer me a ride. I will always remember his kindness. May your many wonderful memories give you and your families peace and comfort. Penny (Piesik) and Dan Krzyminski

Carla & Craig and families,
We are so sorry to hear about your Dad. He was the greatest neighbor ever! I think he kinda adopted our family when we moved to Maple St. He helped us out so much from painting to planting and everything in between. He let us know when he thought we were wrong and complimented us when we deserved it. We have many happy memories of sitting in his kitchen for “happy hour” and just chatting about his kids and grandkids and looking at photographs of all of you. He was so proud of you all. We certainly missed him when we moved and will continue to miss him. May God Bless you and give you peace through this difficult time.
