Ed was my best friend all through high school. We pretty much showed up at the same places at the same time. To anyone that knew Ed, he was a great friend and a good listener. He respected all those that he met and rarely failed to give anyone a chance to correct themselves. Ed would always go out of his way to help those around him. Many girls liked him as a friend, but failed to consider him a mate - they lost, he had a heart the size of a whale.
Ed was a star athlete and excelled in hockey. He was a team leader and pushed himself to contribute even when his doctor recommended less ice time due to concussions. (His father learned Ed had disobeyed the doctors advice when Ed's picture was in the paper for his game achievements!) Ed would never back down from a challenge on the ice and that coincided with his ability to push himself to succeed.
Ed went on to become very successful in the advertising industry, he met many celebrities and even starred in a TV commercial. He raised two wonderful kids and left a spouse that admired him greatly. He always thought Lynard Skynard's "Freebird" fit him pretty well and I still get emotional whenever I hear that song (pause). I will always miss Ed and never forget all the wonderful, stupid things we did together. Just to clear the air - Ed was involved in the infamous Taco Bell theft of 1977 (the actual bell on the roof was broken free and removed during business hours). I was not there and the others shall remain anonymous, but I am told the event was hilarious and unbelievably noticeable!
