Edward B. Prins

Ed and his brothers introduced me and my older brother Lee and younger brother Harlan into birding when we were youngsters living two doors away on Park View in Racine. We have all retained our interest in birding and passed it on to our children, so theirs is an ongoing heritage.

Ed was a kind, thoughtful and wonderful person. Throughout his life, he maintained his enthusiasm for nature, especially birds, and his Christian faith. Ed was an important influence on me when I was young and he was a steadfast friend throughout my life. I know many others share the joy that Ed added to their lives and we grieve together at his death.
