Thinking of Ed's entire family during this sad time. We have all lost a friend but have gained a guardian angel. We will miss you Ed but will all meet again.
We are so sorry for your loss may God be with you at this difficult time, our prayers are with you and your family, George and Pam Bryant
My dad, brothers and sister in law knew Eddie thru the Kilgore Horseshoe League. He beat me and my partner by one point in the state doubles tournament. Eddies team didnt even place in the tournament but he knocked us out of first by beating us by one point. We ended up in 2nd place. Eddie loved it lol. I can still see him laughing about it. He said he should have threw the game for us so we could have gotten first. We all got a good laugh out of it. We enjoyed getting to know him thru the league and had alot of fun. He was a fun guy and we are so sorry to hear of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely,
Beth, George, Brad, Kim and Greg Hogue
