We always enjoyed visiting when Ed and ( my grandmother) Helen lived together at Nob Hill. Many times Ed would look out their big picture window and tell us about the city, baseball, ect. and how it's changed. I know he was very special to my Grandmother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We are lucky to have known Ed.
