Not sure what to say?

I served with Ed on the planning commission and really appreciated his professional knowledge. My husband and I also joined him for water aerobics at the Y for a few months. I'm glad to have known him.

Sandy and family. Pablo and I express our deepest sympathy. Ed was always so much fun at our swimming group and parties. We always smile when we think of you all

Sandy
I'm so very sorry for you and your families. You two always looked so happy when I would see you walking in at Civic Theater. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm very sorry to learn of Ed's passing. He was a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor and a very fine engineer who thrived on challenges. The things I remember most about Ed were his Oklahoma accent and those quaint sayings he often spouted such as "that fellow has hitch in his giddyup". Never knew what most of them meant nor where in the world they came from (Oklahoma I guess), never asked, but always chuckled when I heard them. He was unique and will be missed.

I enjoyed working with Ed on several projects, he was a talented professional who cared a great deal for the people he work with and public he served.

Dear Sandy and Family
How I know how you feel as you part with your beloved Ed
I am so happy that you were able to have such a fine man part of your lives I know Sandy is a strong woman and would offer to be any help possible as she starts this new journey Sorry not to be there as visiting family out of town

Sorry to hear of Ed's passing. He was a well respected professional and was very kind to me when I moved back to Michigan 22 years ago. My condolences to the family.

Sandy, Russ, and family, we are so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing Ed is pain free and in the loving arms of our Lord.

Ed and I worked for the City of Grand Rapids where we
became fast friends. He and I both left the City and started
our businesses at the same time. He chose me as his best man when he and Sandy were married. Never did he fail me as a friend. I shall miss him greatly and wish the best to Sandy and the family.
