As a long time friend of the family i had known Jed for years and spent many nights at the race track and then i also would get to see him at work on midnights at Whirlpool. Such a great guy and funny. Never had anything bad to say about anybody. We lost a great friend and coworker. Prayers for peace for all the Family during this sad time.

Jedeye my friend! The smile , the laugh , the great times. ” just sayin'” I met Jed in the early 80’s when I was a young punk hotshoe trying to transition from baseball to softball. Jed and Al recruited me to play with THE team CWM. The first time I stepped on the field I was a nervous wreck. Jed told me ” it’s just a game Jimmy relax, just throw me the f’in ball. Well I did and what a show Mr. Rocket Arm put on.But what really happened that day was I acquired 3 brothers for the rest of my life. Jedeye turned into my mentor on the ballfield. My babysitter between games. My friend for life. We had so many laughs with Shorty ( my grandpa), hauling my camper , racing , cooking at my cancer drive , sitting at my camper and who can forget the night at my Grandma’s .Her screen door was never the same!!!!!!! I love you Brother and RIP.
