His sister, Elizabeth "Buffy" Greenawalt (Thomas) and their children, Nolan (Amy), Faith, Trevor (Jennifer), Cameron (Lindzey) Chase, and Chloe (Brentton) hold priceless memories. Ed is also survived by Edward and Steven Safford of Sycamore and their families as well as great nieces and nephews.

Ed was preceded in death by his parents.

Sorry to hear of Mr. Millet's passing. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope. And, that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.

Ed was always a pleasure to be around--he could be funny, contemplative, inquisitive within two minutes. I can't recall him being angry. I missed him when he moved from Illinois to Seattle a few years ago.
