Fond memories of Eds visits to Ireland .
I was very young when Ed visited us in Ireland, he made a huge impression on me and all of us across the Atlantic. Ed was charming, genuine and kind, he will be sorely missed from our world.
I wish all of his friends and family our deepest love and heartfelt sympathy.
