I remember him at Poudre High school in 1983 to 1985. He was a great and caring person. And I lived in Wellington when he was at the junior high school. He also always knew when I was ditching a class. I am so happy for knowing you and your family. RIP

Janice, I was so sorry to hear about Ed's passing. I know he had not been in good health of late. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, especially Terri, Beau, and Kerry and family. Ed was such a foundation at LaPorte PC and I know he will be missed by all his friends.

I will never forget the compassion that he showed to his students, including myself. He was my principal (as well as my brother & sister's) at WJH and PHS until we moved away in 1989. No matter how many students he had, he would recognize me (us) and would always greet us by name. I am truly sorry for his families loss. Such a great man will truly be missed by many. Prayers to his family and friends.
