I am saddened to hear of Uncle Ed's passing. He was a fine man and will surely be missed by all who knew and loved him. Some of my earliest memories are of Uncle Ed, Aunt Rose, and their children at family gatherings along the Susquehanna River at Grandpa and Grandma Miller's cottage. Those were great days and cherished times.
