So much to say about my stepDad Ed who was in my life since I was about 6. He was always someone to respect. He was serious when that was appropriate but definitely knew how to have fun. And those closest to him knew his soft compassionate side as well. He had a joke to tell or a poem to recite when in the mood to entertain. How he remembered all of that I do not know. Ask his grandsons about his ‘old Indian tricks’ or ‘Dagas Mines’ sayings. - those were aplenty as well! He enjoyed teaching or advising the young people in his life particularly nephews and grandsons and me. His Catholic faith and his family were of utmost importance. He had many many long lasting friendships. Most whom met him instantly liked him and formed a bond. He loved playing tricks on people, some of which continued for decades with the ‘victim’ exchanging the favor! He and Mom enjoyed their life together and beautifully balanced each other out. He enjoyed his time hunting and fishing, and together they enjoyed traveling, going to their camp, and being with family and friends. His grandsons treasure the memories and have said the time spent with him was formative to their lives in many ways. Oh how I will miss this man but am so thrilled that he will be together again with Mom whom he missed so much, my brother, and my son. My prayer is that I will honor him in all I do going forward.
