[My heart goes out to Ed's wife and family at this difficult time. I only knew Ed by email, but I would be proud to call him a friend. He was very supportive of our Findlay Bottle Club, and the bottle collecting hobby will miss him greatly. On behalf of the Findlay Bottle Club, our deepest condolences. Rest In Peace, "Bottle Ed".]
