Mr. Ed., my very good neighbor, passed away late last night from complications from a broken hip and hip surgery. Dad called me in the waning hours of last night with the somber news. Mr. Ed would have been 90 years old next week. I never knew he was that old and and how interesting his life was as well. Did you know he was a professional standup comedian in his younger years? That astounded me when dad told me that about Ed’s life.
“He could put on quite a show in his younger and more animated days,” my father said to me last night. “He performed a show at the church one time and it was hilarious.”

I guess this shows that laughing can make you live longer.
sounds like he had a good life :)
Sorry to hear that your neighbor Mr. Ed died. Sound like he had a long, interesting life.
May he rest in peace.
So sorry to hear about your neighbor. He had a very long life.
I am sorry to hear about Mr. Ed passing. He seemed to have long life though and I am glad he did not seem to suffer long. Hip surgery can be hard to come back from at 90.
Why is it we learn more about people after they pass than when they were living? A lesson to be learned. Life's too short not to give a few moments, share some time. RIP Mr. Ed, keep them laughing in heaven!
