Edward C. Hamby

Dear Dad,
Well it's spring again and boy have you missed a lot in the past year. I wish you were here for me to lean on and talk to. I wish you were here when I needed to vent or to lean on someone. I still listen to you singing to me on my voice mail. It's still not the same. I guess the truth is you don't know what you've got until it's gone. I miss your kind words and your strength. I miss you saying to me "Do you want Me to come up there and take care of it". I miss so many,...

Dear Dad,
It's taken a while for me to write on here. I never realized how much I needed you in my life, like I do right now. You were always there with that great big smile, with a hand to hold, and a laugh that would make anyone smile. I had my surgery, and God did I miss you through all of this. You would have been there every step of the way, holding my hand and letting me know that it was all going to be ok. I know you were watching over me, but it's just not the same without...

My brother was loved by his parents whom he is with now. To everyone else we all grow old, but not to your brothers and sisters. We look at each other as if we are still in our youth. We know each others hearts. We share private jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets. Family grief’s and joys. And in doing this these moments will never be lost to his brothers and sisters. They will live forever in each one of us. If you just met Eddie for the first time, you instantly had a friend....

Dear Dad,
Well last night we celebrated you in style. You would have loved it. Mom and I shared a limo. Nothing but the best, right? I stood in the center of the party, and I swear I heard you laughing with everyone. I know that you were there, watching and laughing with everyone. I still miss you so much. Every day I listen to you on my voicemail, and still talk to you. I wonder if you hear me, and hope that you do. You were an amazing father, husband, but much more. You...

Dear Kass, Val and Ed, We are so sorry to hear of Ed's passing. He was such a great guy. We loved his humor and looked forward to our visits here in Cape Coral.Stay strong and remember he is watching over you. Love Alice Pace & Lee Lypka

Kass, Eddie and Val,
As I am writing this I can hear Ed's hardy laugh. He always had a story to tell me especially when it came to hunting. After 23+ years Ed and I continued to keep our friendship going thru the years. We didn't have to talk frequently because when we did it was if we just spoke the day before. Ed's life was his family. I am going to miss my buddy terribly. May you rest in peace Ed.

Mrs. Hamby, Val and Eddie,

I don't even know where to start. Saying sorry just doesn't seem to be enough. Mr. Hamby was such a great man and he definitely left his mark on everyone he met. Everyone is better for knowing him and he will be remembered by so many. The great memories can hopefully help you through this painful time.

Love,
Nikki

Dad, Thank you for being the best father a son could want or ever need. You were my best friend and I thank you for that. But more importantly you taught me the importance of things. Without you I would not be the man I am today. I miss you terribly, but you are forever with me. Love Eddie

Today has been a week Dad, and I still can't believe that you're gone. Right now, you'd be rushing Mom and I to hurry up and get dressed so that we could go to breakfast. I plan on writing you a note on here, but haven't built up the strength yet to let you know just how much you meant to me. Just know how very important You and Mom are to me, and that there will never be a day that I won't miss hearing your voice or being able to give you a hug. I Love You Dad and will always be your...
