Our thoughts are with you all. We have had the pleasure of knowing Ed for many years as he would come in to PGG Wrightson and pick and deliver goods to our farming clients. All the ladies have fond memories of the beautiful orchids and roses that he would bring to us and the best fresh veges out of his garden. If we ever needed a hand to hang something on the wall he was there with his toolbox. He was always obliging and nothing was ever too hard. He spent many hours telling us about his family and how proud he was of you all. He always had a sparkle in his eye when he talked about his daughter Deb and granddaughter Natalie. We spent many hours discussing his love of radios and trains and the special trip that he went on to Tasmania. Today we watched the livestreaming of Ed’s service, he would be chuffed to have had a send-off like this. We will treasure the memories we have of Ed.
