When my husband and I moved to Phoenixville thirty seven years ago Ed and Carole were the first neighbors we met. Ed, being the most senior member of the Frog Hollow was lovingly referred to as “ The Mayor”. He was a father figure to my husband as he had just lost his own dad. Ed gave great advice on everything from lawn care to child rearing.
Those constant questions asked of Ed were what may have prompted him to move to State College! All kidding aside we missed them when they moved. We enjoyed their visits back to Phoenixville whenever they were in the area. In my husband’s words, Ed made him a better man, husband, and father.
For myself, Ed was my dear friend and daily walking companion. I treasure the memories of our conversations. We are grateful to have know him. We are better people for having known him. God gave us a special man in Ed.
