I have known Ed since he was Superintendant at Westmoreland State Park while I was the Concessionaire in the middle 70s. Even though he was in the superior position, he was always more a friend. I was in Radford last fall and hadn't seen Ed in years. I called him and we got together at his favorite cafe in Dublin for lunch and then breakfast with his local friends another day. It was like old times and I am so thankful for our visit. He was everybody's friend and will be sorely missed.

Wendi, Keith, Brittney, Dominique, Zachary, Scott, Missy, Bradley & Samantha,

We know now comes the hardest times . . . living life without your dad (grandpa). Life goes on and yours is forever changed. He would want you to carry on making memories with each other. Cry when you need to, laugh as much as you can and remember Uncle Ed would want you to live life to the fullest. We love you and will be praying for you to get through. Love Dawn, Wade and family

I'm so sorry to learn of Ed's passing. He hired me as a Park Ranger at Claytor Lake in 1976, and I had a great time getting to know him. I'm going to miss his weekly e-mail jokes!

Wendy, years ago when we were younger, you introduced me to your dad & I admired his personality. I wll miss him sneaking up behind me & scaring me @ Wades, his smile & laughter & I will miss calling him "dad" more than anything. From my family to yours we are very sorry for your loss & will keep you in our prayers.
