Edward Fitton

It was a sad day when I learned of Ed's passing. I did not know Ed well, we met through his and Melba's kindness to my Grandmother Blanche Harris. They were always there to give her a helping hand. Thank you Ed, you had a true Christian soul & were a kind gentleman. You will be greatly missed.

Ed served with my father-in-law Henry Weigel during WWII in Wendover Air Field, Wendover, UT and March Air Field, Riverside, CA. Ed was the chief maintenance supervisor in their squadrons. They repaired and refitted all types of aircraft prior to the aircraft being assigned to those units that were used in the Pacific Theater. He and Henry were life long friends and enjoyed getting together when they could to relive those days. Henry passed on Feb. 13, 2015. Henry was Commanding Officer...

When visiting Tracy and Nate and children in Idaho we also enjoyed the visits we had with Ed and Melba. Ed was a pleasure to be with and so knowledgeable. With that twinkle in his eye, he enjoyed a good joke too! He will be missed.
With loving prayers and wishes for strength and peace for all the family at this sad time.

Remembering Uncle Ed

As I think of the wonderful, giving and loving life that Ed lived and for all he meant to me and so many others, some distinct memories come to mind:
The first is the genuine care, empathy, kindness and support that Ed continuously shared with others, especially those most vulnerable. This trait made a distinct impression on me as a young boy. I have also experienced this in Ed's son Lon and daughter Alice, so it was clearly a family value to genuinely...

If you look in a dictionary for the word Gentleman, it will have Ed's picture as the true meaning. He and Melba were so in love, one glance told you that. Everyone will miss his smile.

A Favored Brother In-Law... My earliest memory of Ed, was how romantic he was to have proposed to my sister, Melba. He'd asked her to marry her up on Saw Tooth, a high peak in the Sierras. In my pre-teen years for me, this was the greatest of stories. Later, I came to know him as kind, gentle, and lovably helpful... Being able to fix anything that needed repairing. And what made him ever so special, was his patience, and never judgmental towards anyone. Those who came to know him, could sense...

Hello sweet family. I share your sorrow with the loss of Ed. I remember the man with love. He was always such fun to be with. He had such a "Fitton" sense of humor. He will surely be missed but he lived such a meaningful life.
Love to all of you,
Rosie and DeWayne Luce

My Uncle Ed... What a kind and gentle man. I often remember as a child, watching his eyes staring off in distant and deep thoughts, unshared or unknown. Obviously far beyond a little boy's understanding. But as I grew older, I recall engaging conversations and subjects of his interest. And the smiles from his face when if fortunate enough to capture his amusement... Or laughter, if something was found comical between the two of us. One especially fond memory, on a visit I pulled out my guitar...
