Not sure what to say?

Janet, while we moved to Athens, GA in 2014, I still receive "Inscriptions" from Oakdale Cemetery. Yesterday, I got the Spring, 2019 edition and was saddened to read of Ed's death. He was a delightful man with a wonderful sense of humor. I always enjoyed the tours he led, especially the ones during Thanksgiving week-ends. You and Ed were two of the reasons I hated to leave Wilmington and you will be in my thoughts as well as my prayers.

I am deeply indebted to Ed for his mentorship in the fields of local history and architectural history. He made learning very fun with his great sense of humor! He will be greatly missed!

I have such fond memories of wonderful conversations with Ed and Janet about such interesting subjects when I lived in Wilmington. A real gentleman. I know he will be missed by many.

Janet, I was so saddened to learn of Ed's death. Having lost my Ed this past summer I know what you must be feeling. Wilmington has lost an important person and a fine man. Much sympathy to you and all who loved him.
