EDWARD SOARES

Ed was a gentleman, first class. And as well as an outstanding professional. At work, I admired and respected Ed as a colleague. As a friend, he was always sincere and a great conversationalist. A satisfying person to engage in conversation - intelligent speaker as well as a good listener. I will truly miss Ed as many others will. Sincerely, Richard King

Mr. Soares was my civics teacher my senior year at Hanford High 1971. He was a great teacher. Great person. May all his family be at peace knowing that a lot of people will miss him.

Mr. Soares was a great teacher! I was fortunate to have him as a teacher in 1978. He always went above and beyond to support his students. He encouraged me to reach my full potential in life. He had a tremendous impact in my life. As a result, I went into education for my career and worked at COS for 40 years before retiring. He truly made a difference in my life, and I will forever be grateful. I will always have fond memories of him and he will never be forgotten. May his family find peace...
