I feel so sad upon hearing that Edmond passed away.He was a wonderful cousin,I remember stopping to chat with him a couple of years ago when I was back in Maine. We had good memories of when I was a teenager and would be working on my uncle Aimes farm during the summer months. Even though he was 8 years older then I,he was always fun to be around. I will keep the family in my prayers. Cousin,Joseph L. Lavallee,better known as Sunny,George and Rose,s youngest son, Now living in Oregon.

Ann and family, I can't begin to tell you how sad Maryann and I are to hear of the loss of a great friend and a great neighbor. I will miss our roadside chats where we talked about everything from getting Augusta's government in line to Eds visits to my grandfather when Ed was a youngster. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Our thoughts go out to the family of Ed. A wonderful family man who we admired for his great wisdom and business sense. Doing business with Ed was such a pleasure.

Mrs. Quirion & Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathies. Growing up I often heard stories from my Gramp (Lewis Trask) or Dad(Bob Trask) about what a great neighbor & friend Ed was. He will be missed by many. God Bless.
