Not sure what to say?

Sandy, I want you to know that my prayers and thoughts are with you. It has been my pleasure to know you and Ed all these years and share some great visits. How lucky I am to have shared in knowing Cherie and Art's good friends. You take care of yourself and remember that you many good friends who will always be there for you. Sincerely, Carolyn

I met Ed in 1983 when I came to work at Sandy's Beauty Shop. Later that year their home was destroyed in a freak storm. Together they rebuilt a beautiful home and filled it with love and wonderful memories. Sandy and Ed were a perfect compliment to each other. Ed was much like many of his projects. When everyone else thought what he did was great, Ed made it even better. I am so happy that he was able to build his relationship with Jesus Christ. Even though there is a hugh loss here on earth....


Sunday's gathering was just a sampling of the people Sandy and Ed have gathered into their warm and loving circle. We are honored that the circle widened to include us. Ed and Sandy showed by example how to truly love life!

Thanks for the laughter and memories, Big Ed . . . and, Sandy, don't forget that the circle remains to surround you with love and friendship.

Sandy ......our deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Ed cut Don's hair starting at the age of 16. After we moved to ID Don use to try and hold out on his haircuts until we made another trip to the Bay Area. One of his first phone calls would be to Ed to get a haircut. No one could cut his hair like Ed..He will truely be missed.

The Fox has gone home

Gordon Wunn and family

Ed and Tony has been in family for years.Ed use to cut my hair years ago when they had the shop on A Street.
My Dad (Gordy Wunn) is so sad.
Our prayers and thoughts are with the family.

It is hard to accept but the Man upstairs has taken Ed to a better place..I am selfish.. We have been friends for 47 years and it will not be the same I was only 9 years old when Ed first cut my hair.Now my hair is thin and gray and the best damn friend a person could have is not with us .I really will miss the stories and dinners and most of all the many years we shared .To Sandy and the family go my deepest sympathy and I hope if I can do anything for them they won't forget me

Sandy, I couldn't be sadder. Ed was a great guy, as you know, and I'll miss the idea of him being "around". Bill
