Ed was one of my mentors inspiring me to become a licensed land surveyor while at Deevy & Shannon and later at Sandwell. I have always held him in the highest regards and learned much from him. He will be missed.

It was an honor to work with Ed during the ENGlobal era. He was meticulous in his engineering/design efforts, as well as, being a friendly colleague with a world of wisdom and knowledge. I pray that the family will be comforted during the upcoming days. Please celebrate his life with joy both now and as he starts his heavenly life.
