Edgar Perry "Ed" York

I am so sorry to hear of Ed's passing. What a generous man, always willing to share ideas and spend time talking with you. His contributions to the cleaning industry has been huge. And the industry has grown in professionalism because of Ed. My prayers and sympathy is with the family. And a thank you for sharing Ed with all of us.

SCRT (formerly SCT) recognizes and appreciates the contributions to the cleaning and restoration industry, as well as individual association members, made by Ed and Wanda York.

I am very sorry to hear of Ed's passing. Ed was a person that I will always remember. For the help and advice he provided, and for all the times I found myself in defense of him. He had a way to get you to think, and you had better be ready for the wit and wisdom to follow. I never really knew if he was joking with me or if he was trying to rip me to pieces. I always learned something new with each conversation or confrontation. I was thrilled when I saw that Ed was honored in Clean Fax. He...

Ed was like a father to me. I truly considered Ed to be my best friend. He was always there for me personally and professionally. I doubt if anything will fill the hole I feel in my heart with the passing of Ed. I will truly miss my best friend. May God grant peace to Wanda and the entire family.

To Mr. York's Family,
I am sorry for the loss you are feeling at the passing on of Ed. May the Lord provide you a peace that passes all understanding in the days to come.

The certification of over 100,000 individuals in the past 34 years likely would not have occurred if it were not for Ed & his passion for this industry.

Sincerely,
Ed Hobbs

My sincere condolences to Ed's entire family. I truly appreciate all the help and advice that was eagerly given by Ed.
Ed was truly a caring, giving man who gave from the heart.

Dear Wanda & Family,
I was so saddened to hear of Ed's passing. I first met Ed in 1978, I was 7 months pregnant and we compared belly sizes. That was the beginning of a long friendship. You all were there for me through lots of tough times, for that I will always be greatful.
He was truly a force to be dealt with and he will be missed. Please know there are many that are greiving along with you in your loss.
God bless,
Rochelle

Norm and I met Ed in the 70s in Cleveland, OH. We went up for a seminar he was presenting and came home with advice that's as applicable today as it was then: if you want more business, raise your prices. We were newbies and Ed was his impatient, blunt, loquacious self. On the way home in Columbus, we decided he knew what he was talking about. In Cincinnati, we decided to not double but maybe raise our prices 25%. Six months later we purchased our first truck mount and today we still...

May the Lord Bless and keep Ed's entire family by His Holy Spirit and the Hope of Jesus Christ.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Ed face to face, but i did speak with him many times over the phone. I hope there is someone to fill his shoes in the cleaning industry. He can never be replaced.

Condolences,

Danny Strickland & Family
