To the Wascom Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you thru this difficult time. Edward was a special guy who always made you smile or laugh. I never had the chance to meet him in person but felt like a knew him all my life. He talked about his family all the time and I know they meant the world to him. Life takes us through all kinds of journeys but I never could imagine that Edward would leave us so soon. God receive a wonderful man in heaven. May he rest in peace in eternal life. I will miss him dearly. He was a true friend and a great man. Goodbye my sunshine!

Heartfelt condolences from myself and from so many others in the lab at North Oaks. Ed's genuine and friendly personality showed through in all the projects we worked on together. He took the time to listen and make sure things got done right. He was a special guy, and his presence is missed by all of us who knew and enjoyed working with him.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to the Wascom Family. Ed was my coworker and friend for many, many years at North Oaks. We worked on multiple projects together. I like to say Ed was my Partner in crime LOL. He always found ways to make my sometime difficult projects and time lines work even though it may not have been the original plan. Ed would tell me No.. we can't do that and then he would find some Miracle way to make it work. Ed was such a kind person and just a really GOOD GUY. . Ed will be sorely missed.
