Edward Baizer

I was 17 years old and attending Uni High when Ed first hired me as a cashier! I remember how fascinated I was with the size of his hands and his height! A big man with a huge heart and smile! I used to call him a giant teddy bear. I learned how to count back cash without a calculator and learned a lot about cars hanging around the shop! Hank, Jack, and Scott were also my also my faves and the girls in the office. I look back at those days on West Los Angeles fondly and Ed is part of my...

Ed was the Kindest and most Generous person I ever knew, the world is a better place because of him having been in it. I have missed you these years my friend and could never Thank You enough for all you did for me. There are MANY who I watched you help, never asking for anything in return, I just hope they realize how much you did for them also. You are missed and I only wish some things had turned out just a little different. Gods Speed Ed, I Pray you turned back to Christ Jesus and are...

Ed was a larger than life personality in my life growing up in Santa Monica. My father, Phillip Boomgard met Ed along with his brother at A & B Chevy and became friends. They fished together at various venues in the Southland (Lake Elsinor, off Santa Monica Pier to name a few) even after Phil moved to Long Beach. I was floored when Ed showed up at my dad's 90th birthday about 3 1/2 years ago in Palm Desert. He made a "herculean effort" to get there.
Ed had the biggest heart I ever...

I am deeply saddened for the loss of Ed, he was a great inspiration to me for many years. We shared many things and he taught me to be a great fisherman and dancer. I absolutely loved him and we shared many laughs for he had a great sense of humor. I am sure that he is in a better place and blessed in every way. I will always have a special place in my heart for him. My condolences to his family. I will miss him. May he rest in peace.

I'm so sorry for the passing of my brother-in law. I always felt we had a special connection, especially since we were the same age. He always included me as family, even after my divorce. He gave me a job, and was always there to make sure I was ok. I love him very much, and will miss him a lot.

We've all got a hole in our hearts and lives since the passing of Ed. Frome the day I met him in 1981 standing next to Howard in A&B Chevy we looked each other in the eye (I'm 1 inch taller) and knew we'd be friends for a long time. From fishing togeather to breakfast in the Marina to tinkering in his garage on the World Famous Kuichi Canoe, I always felt like I had a West Coast Father next to me. No matter what crazy ideas I'd run by Ed, he'd always laugh and say "YOU'RE CRAZY" "MASHOUGINA"...
