Loved Ed McMahon– he MADE the Tonight Show. He was a great man.
Dear Family of Ed:
I was in hospital when Ed passed away. I know about adverse feelings, in only one way. I truly realize that people are kind and they are mean. Ed to me as a person has alway shown class. I am from the generation that respect hard working people and believe in the American ways of life. I was feeling bably when I heard about Ed but you know one thing? Ed was a super person to all of the TV world. Him and Johhnie Carson made a huge imprint to the world. Ed is from old school and I will miss him but for sure I will always respect a person that represents other people and Ed McManhon is the yard stick that everyone will be measured for sure. God Bless you Ed and God bless your loved one
