So sorry to hear this. Ed was always very good to me. My condolences to the family.
I haven’t seen Eddie since high school and him protecting my butt on the football field. Always a great dude. Sorry to hear of his passing. I’m sure he will be missed. My condolences to the family.
We LOVED Big Ed! He and Chris worked together for a long time but never lost contact with each other when Chris left MCC. I always got a laugh when Chris would come home and tell me stories about the mischief they would get into together. I believe I even threatened to separate them a time or 2.
Ed was loved and definitely will be missed by my family!
So sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. My prayers and heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends.
I had the pleasure of working with him at Multi-Craft, and loved his sense of humor, and joyful attitude.
He shall not be easily forgotten!
Rest in Love ❤️ and Peace Nephew.
I always enjoyed working with big Ed. It was also my life’s goal to send him an outlandish text to make him blush at work. I will really miss him!

Big Ed was the greatest guy you could ever meet. I enjoyed working with him at MCC. I will miss him dearly. RIP my friend. Prayers for the family.
Big Ed was one of the first foreman at multi-craft I had the pleasure of working with almost 10 years ago he was very easy going, friendly, and loved what he did from electrical to riding motorcycles. I will miss him and my prayers go out to his family and friends at this difficult time.
My thoughts and prayers are with Ed’s family.Ed was a great friend.I have so many memories of our motorcycle vacations.Kevin and Ed rode to Mexico one year and I choose not to go on that trip, but I know those two had a great time.We were in Beartooth pass one year in Montana on the bikes and we pulled over to look at the scenery and Big Ed disappeared over a hill.When Kevin and I got up to where Big Ed was he was laying in the snow making snow angels.We’ve been with him to Vegas on the bikes sitting on the strip 110 degrees and I thought we would surely die.We have been on top of Mt Evans in CO highest paved rd in the United States riding in sleet and snow.We have been all over the United States riding motorcycles with Big Ed.I have never seen a man that wanted to ride a thousand miles a day, but Big Ed did.He loved to ride. I will miss talking to him.He was a great friend.Forever and Always in our hearts.
Big Ed was a good friend & coworker. He will be missed.
You rarely meet someone who no one has a bad thing to say about them. Ed is one of those unique people. Worked with him at MCC and I needed weekend help on a project. The boss, Dan Clark, said Ed wanted to work it, said Ed must be eyeing a new motorcycle cuz he hated overtime. I loved working with him, he was great at his craft and ever greater with people. RIP Ed……..wide curvy roads and no red lights
Have not seen Eddie since high school. We had some good laughs in football and just being young. Rode back from some school event with his dad and him. It was easy to see where he got his hard working ethic. I believe his dad was in the navy and was involved with the Cuban missle crisis.
Anyway, wish you the best Eddie on your next adventure.
Eddie always had a good story to tell about his motorcycle adventures. He had such a big heart. We will miss him.
