Edward M. Kirby

I was told he was a great and intelligent man, always a man of the time, whenever that may have been.

I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Ed Kirby. I had a great experience
working with Ed on our film "Visions of Iron" he was an amazing historian and an even better person.

Dear family,

We are so sorry for your loss. It has been a pleasure to meet him and be able to share time with such a great man. Rest in peace.
All our love to the Kirby family.

Parra family.

Great teacher, coach, mentor and a dedicated person. I happened to be on the Scoville Library site last week and ran across a living history Mr. Kirby did there. What a great geology lesson in typical Kirby fashion! Rest In Peace your legacy goes on.

Rest in peace old friend. Lloyd.
