Ed — A Trusted Advisor , Caring Friend, and Beloved Family Man
Ed worked with me at FedEx, and he was an instrumental part of my team’s success. He provided guidance and leadership that helped shape our entire organization.
Above all, Ed and I became great friends after I retired from FedEx, and I visited him in Memphis when I was in town. Our conversations—whether in person or on the phone—were always centered on family, his faith, and the good times we shared at FedEx.
Our last conversation was on April 21. He spoke candidly about his health battles, yet his spirit remained hopeful, and he told me he planned to visit me in Raleigh soon. I chose to hold onto that optimism, believing there were more good moments ahead for us to share.
To Ed’s children: your father loved you dearly. He was a very special person who touched so many of us, and his memory will live on in the lives he influenced and the love he shared.
God bless you, Ed. Rest in peace, my good friend.
