Edward Lee Gaiser

13 April 2014
Eileen,
Thank you for the memorial you organized for Ed yesterday. I could certainly tell after speakers from family, Gaiser Tool friends, and golf friends: we were certainly all talking about the same lovely, wonderful, consistent, thoughtful, funny man. After reading Doug Paxton's email, Judie and I just sat back and absorbed the joy of all the speakers referencing Ed.
I will often remember saying to Ed on the 16th hole at SCC, "Ed, are you thirsty?" He would...

Spent 2 years at the Kappa Chi house with Ed as a fraternity brother. But he was more than a brother; a good friend. And he often made reunions of the Collegian Dance band in SLO held every August. He will be missed.

I have been a Gaiser Rep for the last 33 years and met Ed several times. He was a kind and delightful man and I know he is at peace and healed. His family is in my prayers.

We are heartbroken about the loss of our dear friend Ed. We first met Ed and Eileen in 1995 in Tahiti. We were the musicians on the Wind Song ship.
We had an instant bond with them and went on to sail many oceans and seas with them over several years.
We had the great fortune to witness the last space shuttle launch with Ed and Eileen in Cape Canaveral Fl. It was on Ed's bucket list.
Happily we were able to visit them last September in Ventura at their lovely home.
Ed left...

I had many laughs and crazy times with Ed during our years at Cal Poly. He and my husband, Bruce, were roommates. We stayed in touch & were so happy when he met and married Eileen. They were truly meant for each other. He will be missed, but I'm sure he and Bruce are playing music and pranks in heaven.
Joan (Allan) Looman... Calabasas, CA.

He will always be in our hearts and greatly missed.

L*O*V*E to the entire Gaiser family, especially Eileen... who has lost her soul mate. I worked for Gaiser Tool Co. for 15 years and especially loved hearing Ed's stories at the Christmas Parties and company picnics. Was fortunate enough to enjoy Ed and Eileen's amazing parties at their gorgeous home in the Ventura Keys! Ed will be missed, raising a glass to him...xo

Gary, Dennis and the rest of the Gaiser family: I was sad to read about Ed's passing. I know he will be greatly missed, but it sounds like he had a great life and did it "his way". You are all in my thougts and prayers.

Ed was a great friend and KX fraternity brother at Cal Poly. We had many great times together while we were in school. He was a great supporter of the Collegians Big Band of which many of the band members were also KX brothers. Afterwards when the Collegians started having reunions in San Luis Obispo he and Eileen were regular attendees. Although we haven't seen him in recent years we are so sorry to see him go and will continue to miss him.
