On behalf of the American Cancer Society, we send our deepest condolences. Ed was an incredible man who served the American Cancer Society in more ways than just his role as President. He will be truly missed.

Dr. Seffrin’s office has tried to send correspondence to your address recorded in our system, however, the letter was returned. If you could send us your current address, we would like to send you a letter...

Ed was a GREAT man and outstanding physician and friend. I worked with him at Evanston for many years and enjoyed his professional friendship. Please know our prayers are with you and the family. Remember him as the vivacious, gentle giant that he was and know how much all of you are loved

Dear Ginny,
Ed was a great man and a great surgeon. It was a privilege for me to work with him during his tenure at Evanston Hospital. The Northwestern surgical community joins me in extending our sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Ginny,
Dick and I totally missed reading or hearing about Ed's death. Even though we haven't seen either of you in recent years, we have many fond memories of the times we spent together. Our love and deepest sympathies. Ann & Dick

Dear Ginny, Dick and I send to you and your family our most sincere
condolences. We remember Ed's plowing our driveway when Dick fractured his hip!! We remember your wonderful annual Christmas open house for Edgewood friends.
Ed is now at peace with the Lord and we pray that you find comfort in memories of your years together.
Fondly, Carol and Dick

Virginia,
I worked with Dr. Scanlon for 28 years in the Operating Room at Evanston Hospital. A lot of what I learned and know about surgery came from working with Dr. Scanlon. He was a hard task-master but very fair. His dedication to teaching inspired me to teach also. Teaching Operating Room Nursing is still what I am involved in although I Have retired from working full time. Since moving from the Chicago area, I have missed Ed's bright smile, unlimited energy, bow ties and your...

Strength, calm, humor, patience, philosopher. These are some of the words which come immediatly to mind when we think of Dr.Scanlon. Our family has been very appreciative of his time, skills, and focus and are truly grateful for his major role in our family's well being. We miss him and send loving thoughts to his family.

Ed was an icon in his field and only knew to strive for excellence. My condolences to Virginia and the family.
