TODAY MARKS THE FIRST YR HE LEFT US MISSING HIM IS ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS I'VE HAD TO DO

James had always talked about his dad being such a great person to be around. Yet it was not until Ed invited me to experience a vacation of trout fishing in the mountains with them that I realized how true that was. I wish each person reading this could experience such a beautiful area as we were at while fishing in the Steens Mountains. He was the tour guide of knowledge along the trip.

When you look at Eddie's life as a whole, he was a giving and caring man. He left the world a better place by caring for his family, adopting his nephew, caring for his elderly mother and aunt, and saving lives as a paramedic.
I will miss his laugh, his stories, and his advice. I hope he is enjoying the beauties of paradise.

Jefferson, I never met your dad but I know how much you love him. You are a good man, and that speaks volumes about the father who raised you. Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time.

My deepest condolences to you and your family, Jefferson. You have been in all of our thoughts. Zena Bauman

I will always love and miss you Papa. You where a great man and inspiration to all of us.

My sincere condolences to you and your family, Jefferson. I hope you can find some peace during this difficult time.

I pray for strength for the family. Mary has shared many great memories with us here at Providence. He sounds like an amazing man.

We will miss Ed's wonderful laugh, crazy sense of humor, his openess, and his stories about trips he's taken with our sister, Barb. Ed was a great cook and baker and we spent many a holiday meal with Barb and Ed. We will miss you and think of you often. Special thoughts to Barb and all of Ed's family as they cared for him in the last six months of his life.
Love, Nancy and Mary Ellen
