Nancy, Laura and Matt, I am sad to hear of Ed’s passing. I have fond memories of Ed growing up. He was a great person. He was always so nice to me, made me laugh. I have a funny memory when he and Laura were trying to introduce me to horses…didn’t go so well :-), but it was still fun. I regret that I hadn’t seen him in many years since moving to Nashville. My son Connor and I send our most sincere condolences to you and the rest of your family. Best Regards, Melani
Ed Hoeltke was one of the kindest, most gentle men I have ever known. I truly feel honored to have witnessed his laugh, his smile, and his friendship. Nancy, my heart goes out to you and your family for the loss of a truly great man.

Ed: I think you know we will miss you, wish we could have been able to call, but it was pretty hard to see you at last, when we remember how much fun we had when we were kids.
