Edward Loder

Dear Liz, Mrs. Loder, Ellen, Nora, Mary, Kathy and Theresa,
I just wanted to let you know how sorry and sad I was to hear of the passing of your Dad and Husband. I have very fond memories of "Mr. Loder". His sense of humor comes to mind first and foremost and was wonderfully constant. It had just enough quirkiness to really make me laugh out loud. Usually, a bit later after you had time to really think about what he had said to you. He and I would run into each other every now and then...

On behalf of my mother, Bob's cousin Ruth, and me I would like to express our condolences to the family. I fondly remember the Loder family gatherings at Maier's Grove in Blandon. My mother wanted to send a card, but did not have your address... I'm sure you will forgive her.

to the entire loder family:although we have not seen many of you since ellen and jeff and children lived in fair haven--we recall, with great affection, each of you. we are sending our heartfelt condolences and deep sympathy. it was always a great pleasure to be with you, catherine, and ed with sparkling conversation. we have been happy to maintain a friendship with our beloved ellen and jeff and to stay in close touch with nora. to have been the patriarch of such a magnificent family...

Mrs. Loder and Family -
Since visiting with you yesterday morning I have been only thinking of the legacy of love Mr. Loder has left for you all to share. What a tribute to you both as parents to have fostered a physician, nurse, teacher, teacher, teacher, and judge - all providing SERVICE to others. I wish each of you peace as you support eachother in true "Loder" style!

Mrs. Loder you do not know me but I am your neighbor two doors up, Ed was a wonderful man I just realized my son went to him for some counseling when he was 8 years old and I never knew Ed was the very Special man who helped my son grow into the strong minded man he is today! I only realized it when I read Ed's obituary, I said Oh my God that's Ed Loder who counseled Donald our son! What a great man Ed was, he also was a customer of mine at The Allentown Fairgrounds Farmers Market, he would...

Mrs.Loder, Ellen and the rest of the Loder family,Our deepest sympathy to all of you on the passing of Mr.Loder. I have so many wonderful memories of spending time in your home as a teenager with Ellen and later after Bob and I were married and had a family of our own. Your home was always such a warm, welcoming place. Mrs. Loder, Bob and I decided when our children were very young that we wanted to be the same kind of parents that you were and have the same kind of friendly, loving home. You...

To All the Loder Girls -
The passing of Mr. Loder leaves a hole in in the heavenly sky through which the stars' brightness and his spirit will shine back to each of you. Like so many others, his presence in my early years is so vividly memorable. I will never forget all of the school mornings he would fling open the door and invite me in while he was preparing breakfast for each of you. He'd be wearing an apron and holding a spatula while frying eggs or flipping pancakes and the...

Dear Mrs. Loder,
As Liz's friend for many years, I loved coming to your home. The love inside could be felt from the front door. The raucous laughter, the singing, the stories...all of it magical. The love and respect between you and Mr. Loder was so tangible. I remember hoping I'd find a man to love me the way he so obviously loved you. God bless your wonderful memories.

Dear Liz and family,
Your Dad was such an influence on so very many of your friends and his students. I will never forget his wry sense of humor or the love he had for all his girls. I am sure you are all feeling the loss but heaven has gained a personable, caring, funny, unique angel. My prayers are with you.
