Remembrances
Hey Ed, it was an honor and a pleasure to take you on your last ride on your Harley. I felt like an old Chevy guy riding on your Cadillac, but we got it done. I'm looking forward to the day we can ride together again. Love ya' Brother. Peace.
Many, many fun memories...Thank you for being such a loyal friend and a great listener.
You'll surely be missed.
Love & Kisses
Al & Olivia (Wisconsin)
I met Ed at a Shadow Rider's run in 2006; we always had fun at the club's Christmas parties! He was a really nice guy, who never had a cross word about anybody! Ed fought the best fight he could, and he was always optimistic! He will, indeed, be missed by his fellow biker friends!
Ed was a good man and neighbor. He and his ever friendly demeanor was
liked by all at the Harper Hill Complex. My wife and I will miss you, Ed.
Ed was a excellent man and a good friend. He was a happy and productive individual. He developed and built the Harper Homes development in downtown Tinley Park, Illinois. He served with the Green Beret in Panama. He rode a Harley Davidson and a drove Corvette and a Crossfire Convertible.
Ed was a man full of life who made all around him feel happy.
He will be missed by his long time friends.
Rest in Peace, Ed
This leaves a terrible hole in all of our lives. We will meet again. Carol, Jim and Larry D.
We love you Ed and miss you very much! Say hi to your Mom & Dad, Aunts Bea, Jo and Fran
We love you Uncle Ed. You can be happy in Heaven now where we can see you again.
You are the best uncle I could have ever asked for.
Uncle Edward was the best uncle ever!!!
