All Condolences -

To Ed, my cousin. I enjoyed the times we traveled from KS to PA to visit. I remember fun at the country club pool and charging Nutty Buddies on your dad''s account. I''m sure Uncle Chris thought otherwise. We wish all of the Crismans our heart-felt sympathy. May the wonderful memories sustain us in these difficult times.
— Tom and Virginia Wilson

I was shocked to hear of my cousin''s passing. Ed was a free spirit and lived his life on his own terms. I am happy that we could spend some extended time together when he visited Kansas in 2021. The condolences are offered to his brothers and sisters with our hope that you are at peace.

I worked with Ed in the Oil and Gas fields. He was one of the best riggers I ever had the pleasure to work with. We had each others back many times and I will miss him. He was a great friend as well.
