It is with great sadness that I learned about the passing of my colleague from Volvo car company. Ed was always a delight to work with as we traveled the Pennsylvania territory together. I will always remember him as a friend.

I didn’t learn of Ed’s passing until 2 years after his death. Ed reported to me at Volvo when I managed the Washington District from 81-87. He was a solid all around guy and a team player. Always positive in his approach to life and people. May he RIP. ❤️🙏 Duke Hale
