Dear Elaine: I'm sending warm regards to
you and your family from Florida in the
loss of your beloved husband. It is so
sad losing our loving mates. It's the
worst thing we have to work through. Be
grateful that you had so many years
together. I'm sure your husband will be missed by the many people he touched
in his time on earth.
Sincerely,
Elsa Sakacs

On behalf of the guys at Mattice's Service Station, I want to express our deepest sympathy for the loss of Ed. I think he always enjoyed stopping in the shop and hanging with the guys. My Father, Rich, always remarked "what a tough son-of-gun" Ed is and the rest of the Crandalls. He will be missed. God Bless!
