There can only be one Wm S Edgecomb, MD. I knew him as a therapist for 3 years when I was attempting to overcome substantial obstacles to accomplishing a meaningful life. I was 19. I had no money. That didn't matter to him. I am now 73. His caring established a strong foundation for the accomplishment of my current life- satisfaction.

Dear Mrs. Edgecomb, Beki, Bill, Bob and Families,

What a true gentleman Dr. Edgecomb was. He helped so many in his lifetime and he will truly be missed. I wish I could have been there to give you all a hug and let you know how very much we care for you all. I remember in high school how you took me to my first show at Studio Arena. That gave me my first taste of real theater and I have been going ever since. My other memory was when I had the car accident and my parents were away and how you helped me out and were there for me. Your kindness and generosity have meant the world to me and always will. My love extends out to you all and may all the beautiful memories your family created comfort you in this time

To my Dad, my Daddio, my dado, my father, my daddy, Dr. William Sterling Edgecomb was a great man. His death brought sadness to many people. But these same people were given such joy by my Dad. He helped so many. Both in his personal and professional life. I knew my Pops was a great Dad, but was struck, during this rough time, by all the people who knew he was a great guy. My Dad never bragged about his accomplishments. He was a leader in he field. He was a very generous man. He was always willing to help out , whoever needed the help. Thanks so much Daddy! You gave me so much growing up and after I was grown. Your guidance and wisdom have shown me the way through many tough times in my life. I will always be thankful that you were here on this earth as long as you were. I miss you Daddio! But some day I will see you again, and give my Dad a big hug and kiss.xxxxxooooo

His smile was infectous and he always had a joke to tell...

My grandpa meant alot to me and I am going to miss him so much! He was my best friend and I could always count on him to talk me out of any mood I was in! I know he touched many lives because he had a big heart and was always thinkign of others first. Thanks for always being a true gentleman and teaching me all about life, god and love. I wish sometime I heard his voice and he could walk me down the isle. But I hope that one day I can teach my own kids all the values and lessons you taught me grandpa!
