I have corrections to Ed's obit. First he was in the process of getting a divorce & Leona (Lee) was a Teilke (Griffin was her previous husbands name.) Therefore, Jenny (Griffin) Harbour, Tammy (Griffin) Winkelman, & Gail (Griffin) Dishman are step-children. Our sister Tonita Wilbur is from Potter NE.
The picture of Ed was one I put in the York News Times, & would have been nice IF some one would have got permission to use my photo.

The obit from the Lincoln Journal Star had errors, too; plus is copyrighted.

Thank you for your kind words, Cathy. Ed was the best & yes a great (witty) sense of humor.
I didn't write all I would have like too, as I was concerned about messing up an investigation in to who beat him so severely, but alas; LE says they are thru w/the investigation.
I have some choice words about that.
