Chapter 60
“It was only three days ago that Ed. Rollins was taken from us. Ed lost his life in the middle of the night. He was taken from us all by a drunk driver. I know I’m speaking in a church, but I am sure there is a special place reserved for that woman in Hell.
Ed tried to understand all things, and I loved him for it, but I doubt he would understand his death. You see Ed knew that particular devil well. For those of you who might not know, Ed was a recovering alcoholic. During the five years I knew him, he never drank. So I consider Ed a recovered alcoholic. It is ironic that the demon rum got him anyway. Ed was also a rebel, but the kind of rebel we all admire not the kind we all hate.
He is survived by his son John of whom he was very proud, John’s mother Lynn, and many, many friends. We will all miss the man, not for the thing be did, but for me man he was. I for one will try to be more like him going forward,” Tommy Simpson said.
“Ed and I divorced at the height of his drinking problem. He gave me everything I wanted. He refused to say a bad word about me during that whole year, or even afterward. Trust me I said some awful things to him, and he said some to me, but he never said a negative word about me to anyone else. I wish I could say the same. He loved and cared for so many people. Ed Rollins was an amazing man,” Lynne said then left the Pulpit.
