Our thoughts and prayers are with Ed's wife, Olga, and their family. We looked for the words to describe Ed but found Juana had stated it so succinctly. Her words: "You touched people in a beautiful way and your smile put everyone at ease."

It is a tribute to Ed that his daughter so well captured his essence. Ed, we will miss you.

Fuller Brush since 1973. We always enjoyed Ed's sales calls to our home. He was always smiling and in a joyful mood. Our sympathies go out to Mrs. Groll and the entire family. Marie & Quinn Matthewson, El Cajon

We, too, have been saddened by the news of Ed's passing. It was as if a loving cousin or joyful uncle passed by. We knew Ed for over 40 years. What a sad day. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, both immediate and extended.

We were so saddened to learn of Ed Passing. He was always smiling and happy to see us. His visits were more of a family friend than a sales event. He would ask us about our travels and tell me what was new in Larry's life. We will miss him.

"ED" Groll was always welcome at out house.
We enjoyed his enthusiastic presentation of monthly specials, his latest anecdotes, combined with neighborly updates.
As very satisfied customers for over 40 years, we will surely miss our very own, special Fuller Brush man. He was....like one of the family!!!
