I am so very sad to hear about Ed's passing My husband and I purchased our first plot of land from Ed over 30 years ago and have been living in the Absolutley lovely McDonald Lake Subdivision he and Bob created ever since. He gave me a wave everyday on my walks while sitting in front of the garage in his chair. We are so sorry for the family for this loss. Rhonda and Mike Dea
