Tributes

Hopefully I'll set up a place where you can leave tributes to Dad. For the moment, just mail them to: comments@MinesALargeOne.co.uk and I'll post them here.

From Neil:
Dad, you were a great Dad and Grandad. We'll miss you. Lots of Love. Neil, Gillian and the Girls.
From Peter Guthrie:
I enjoyed Ed's company for many years going for a pint and talk about the horses shares football and the world in general he was allways ready to help if I had a problem and gave me lots of good advice. Brilliant company and good fun the world allways seemed a better place after an hour in Ed's company I shall miss a great friend.
Moray and Fiona
Dear Neil, our memories of our Uncle Ed seem to be always about going somewhere in one car or another, eating and having fun! We particularly remember how frustrated [fuming actually] Ed was when Granny took you all by the "scenic" route to the Isle of Lewis adding miles and miles to the journey and everyone being grumpy and tired out when you finally made it to our house in Lewis.! We also have such happy memories of coming down to stay with Uncle Ed and Auntie Lorna in Newcastle. It was the first time we had ever travelled by ourselves on the train, was a great adventure and we had a wonderful time. Your cousins Moray and Fiona
