I will positively miss all the stories and times I had sitting and listening to Mr Ed’s stories! Always could make me laugh.
Sorry for your loss and I pray the Lord will give you all strength.

Condolences and our deepest sympathy to the family of Ed May as well as the Fugler family. Many years ago Ed worked with my Dad at Ethyl and I ended up working with his brother in law Raymond. Praying for peace and comfort for all.
