He was employed with the newspaper for more then twenty years. He made many life long friends and treasured each one dearly.
Ed was a great fan of sports and music. He enjoyed spending time in his "rock and roll room," and watching his beloved Dallas Cowboys.
He is survived by his wife Jean; two sons, Chris Sisson of Laurie, Missouri and Darren Harting and his wife Angie of Lebanon; two daughters, Katrina Sisson of Springfield, and Cindy Morgan and her husband Vince of Havelock, North Carolina; two sisters, Judy Dotson, and her husband Robert, and Terry Majerak and her husband Joe all of Lebanon; a host of other relatives and friends.
