My deepest sympathy to Edmond's family and friends. I did not know the gentleman but by his picture he must have been funloving. We are distant relatives so I thought I'd send my regrets. I lost my dad 2 years ago and still miss him dearly.

Edmond was truly an inspirational person. He always maintained a sense of humor, optimistic outlook, and despite all, he always stood proud and maintained his independence, yet not alone. Our heartfelt sympathy to his family.
