Today I am saddened of hearing about Ed's passing, he not only representing me throughout my life he also was a friend. Ed had a way with words, he was always quick to comment on what was going on in my life and the reason that I came to see him, after we would discuss whatever the legalities were at the time, the seriousness of the situation didn't seem so bad because I knew Ed was handling it, and he would never fail to hand down some good advice for my life he had a way with words that's for sure thanks for everything Ed my friend

Dear Liz and family, we were so glad to know your Dad. We were just talking about him this last weekend and reminiscing about Rattlesnake island adventures with your family. He was quite charismatic and ready for a party! I can still see Mike and your Dad up at the helm of the Midnight Lace. Our family has many wonderful memories with the Rhodes. Sending prayers for comfort during your time of loss. The Leitert family

Words cannot express what Ed has done for me and my family members over the years. He has guided us through tough times and been there when most others have not. He was like a brother to my father and me and I loved his sense of humor and his stories were always the best.
