I always remember Ed as a happy person. Maybe a little ornery but always friendly. The Bachmans, Jarrards,Cresses and the Dodsons shared good times together. Not to be sad but I believe Marianne and I are the only two left in this life.

A loved one lost can grieve the heart, therefore, treasure special times spent together and draw strength from the love of family and friends. May God's loving-kindness comfort you and help you through this difficult time. Sincere sympathies - Ps 119:50,76

Our sincere sympathy to all of the family as we learn of Ed's passing. Memories of CUMC in Walcott and Marriage Encounter times bring smiles as he and Marianne were a big part in both. At times like these, we wish we lived closer. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with your families. On one of my last trips home I saw he and Mrs. Bachman walking, holding hands in Walcott. It was a great memory of my past neighbors.
