Ed was a loving son, brother, father, and uncle. He was my Great-Uncle. I loved visiting with them when we would travel to Olney, Texas. Uncle Ed was a nice and loving man. He and his family were devout Lutherans. He and Alice were more reserved, but we knew they loved us and wanted only the best for us.
Ed died on November 1, 1996 in Olney, in Young County, Texas and was buried in the Restland Cemetery in Olney, in Young County, Texas. He is missed deeply and we know his love is always with us.
