Ed was a great Rotarian, rabid Bruin fan and patriot. He is an example that retirement just meant a change in career. My condolences to his family.

My condolences to the Colbert family. I knew Ed from his service on the Ventura County Area Agency on Aging Health Committee. He served us well and had a plan to continue working with the Medical Society. I hope we can continue his work so that he lives on with the community he cared so much about.

It is with admiration and respect that i will always remember Ed, and for sure his energy, passion and devotion to Rotary and his keen interest in getting our club active in International projects. His committment to Rotary and his support in all the club's activities will serve as a high water mark of what Rotarians think, say and do. My sincere and heartfelt prayers go to his family and I know he is with our Lord in Heaven

Dear Colbert Family, Dr Colbert will be missed by everyone who knew him. Tom I'm sure your mom was the first one to greet him in heaven. I hope he gets a chance to say hi to my dad. I always loved those moments with Ed at the Brentwood house where he described his latest hunt for wild boar. It gave me an excitement for the outdoors that has never left me. His legacy is his family and that legacy is lasting.

Dear Mary and Family,
My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. I am keeping you all in prayer. I was blessed and privileged to know Ed both as a true Rotarian and our 'Senior of the Year'. I will miss him terribly.
With much love, Pauline
