My Step-father was a 'Mountain of a Man' for whom respect comes easily. He adored my Mother and accepted the fact that she came with a brood who not just entertained him immensely, but became his 'just add water' clan. His accolades are endless but the way that Connie & Ed met was almost out of a combination of a comedy and a Disney movie. I will miss him always for he was a huge influence on me in so many countless ways R.I.P. 'Kahuna'

Our deepest condolences to Ed and Connie's family. We enjoyed hearing many wonderful stories and memories about you all. Their thoughtful generosity and caring and fun spirits are legacies that will continue to inspire us and generations of local community college students. We are so appreciative to have known Ed and Connie.

I am proud to say I am related to this wonderful man. He was a wonderful Uncle and always treated me and my sister with love and affection. I will always remember how for one week in Novemeber when I was 11, I got to spend a week at Uncle Ed's and Aunt Connie's home where they both took me and my sister Jenny to all sorts of places and taught us news experiences. I also remember getting to go to a Stanford basketball game and watching Uncle Ed cheer on the home team. I lost both my Aunt Connie and my Uncle Ed two soon:-(. RIP dear sweet Uncle Ed... Thanks for all the wonderful times and memories... I love you very much
