Dear Family,
Our condolences to your family on the passing of Ed. My Dad, Marv Hash (who died in '82), considered Ed to be a good friend of his for many years, and it was he who introduced my family and adult children to Ed. Over the years we have great remembrances of our visits to the TV shop. Ed was such fun as he enjoyed sharing his latest and greatest inventions and discussing in detail what needed to be done to fix any electronic device you brought in to him. Anything he fixed was fixed well, and we could always trust his honesty in telling us "it's just not worth fixing".
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Bill and Corky (Hash) Knebel
