My dearest Ed you will always be in my heart and memories. We had some good ones. I know you and Jack are having a good time together and will be looking over Jane and I. I am so glad I got to spend time in Febuary with you but was so looking forward to having you and Jane come out to see me this summer. You will be deeply missed and in my toughts and prayers always.God Bless you and Keep you  Rest in Peace     All My LOVE PAM

Uncle Ed you will be missed.  Its hard to say goodbye, but I know its not goodbye its I'll see you later... I know you are in the hands of our loving Heavenly Father and that his son Jesus Christ met you first and greeted you as you passed. This brings me such comfort to know this and to know that you are with all our loved ones especially my dad, (Jack Tagel). 

My favorite memory... I'm not sure which one...there was the time we almost drown in the Calamus Lake together boy that was fun... or there was the time when we were kids you would stick out your dentures out at us and freak us out... or there was the time I was stuck on your roof in G.I.  and you had to carry me down the ladder because I was so scared to get down (I wasn't afraid to help though I was afraid of heights)... As an adult I enjoyed the time you and aunt Jane took to come out to our place in the sticks,  I really enjoyed those times and I know you did too, I will miss these moments... but I know without a doubt that we will all be reunited one day... till then I Love You and Will Miss You!

Love Always, Forever and Eternity,

Stacy McConnell and Family

Ed,

I always thought of Ed as a big brother. Yes you were big Ed. and then we had little Ed (my brother). I was little and really didn't know the difference. You at that time went into the military, I was about 9 yrs old and missed you terribly. Always wondered where you were. You were traveling with the Air Force of course..but what did a little girl know. You really made an impact on my life. Many years went by and you appeared in Arizona, that day was so wonderful. My Big Ed was back. You never left again, You remained a wonderful part of life and you always made me feel special when we would see one another. Ed thank you for being BIG part of my life. I will miss you for now. When we meet again....it will be for sure, just as wonderful as always. I know you are in heaven looking for your 2 twenty two's. Yep that's what you always said in joking. We both know your wife is the best. Ed miss you already. But I know you were met by many in Heaven. Love You always, Your cousin Diane
