Ed will not only be remembered as our best barber for many years, but as a true patriot of the USA. He served in his VFW Post duties and was a friend to many. He loved his years out at Desert Aire, when I’d see him occassionaly at SPUDNUT shop. “just a little off the top, ED—not much left””–a running joke. SALUTE !!!Buddy. Bob Bush
