My heart couldn’t be more broken. I can’t recall a childhood memory not involving Mr. Ed & how thoughtful he was towards myself & my family. My condolences go out to his family, they know the Major family is always there for them <3

Our deepest sympathies to Mary, Maura, Sean, Eddie and the whole Kennedy Family. We met Ed where our daughter danced with MoMo (as we refer to Maura) he was the kindest man we’ve ever met. He was gracious to share little slips of plants from his garden that I still have. Whenever they grow each spring we will lovingly think of him. We grieve with you & will keep you in our prayers. Rest in peace, Ed! Love, Momma G & family
