During his funeral service Tuesday, August 25th, the linemen there did a beautiful tribute to Ed, paying respect to their co-worker/friend by lining their trucks along part of the funeral procession with raised buckets and Canadian flags.

It was a kind, touching, powerful gesture by Ed's "brothers", and showed the impact Ed had on them.
