Edward Brice Wilkins

Ed has been a friend for some 50 years. Great memories of the times we spent together socially. He and Aileen always added something special to our group. I was also fortunate to have worked with him at Clackamas and Milwaukie high schools. Ed loved his yard and spent endless hours keeping it picture perfect. He was a huge sports fan and an advid reader. He did not take to the computer/technology era. He was proud of the time he spent serving his country; took flowers every Friday to the...

We all know the phrase, "he was the salt of the earth, sea, etc."... we have now lost the salt of the creek. (his creek). Uncle Ed was the epitome of what we all strive for in life. Too many stories, events, gatherings to elaborate on, it would be infinite.
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well dressed body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow what a ride".

What a wonderful man. So many good memories. My sincere condolences to the family. May he Rest In Peace.

My husband and I were connected with Ed and Aileen through our children in sports, LaSalle High School and finally by marriage between our daughter Lisa and their son Eddy. We quickly felt fondness for both Them and their entire family. I watched Ed lovingly care for Aileen before her passing. I have such admiration for him as a husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Truly a role model for all young men. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, young and old. May God’s...

Ed was a very good man and friend.

Dear Wilkins family - My heart aches after reading of the death of your dear dad Ed. He, your Mom Aileen and I started first grade together in 1938 and were best friends for all of grade school and high school years. Your Mom was very close to 2 of my sisters. Our 3 families lived within 3 blocks of each other and had a
wonderful time growing up. Ed was such a close part of my family that my younger brother's middle name was
Edward, named for your dad. We spent countless hours...

Wilkins Family so sorry for the loss of your Father. He was a life long friend of our Dad at Central Catholic, the Marine Corp and on thru life. Reading the tributes to your Dad and knowing what kind of person he was when we were younger is a tribute to a live well lived, My Dad loves to tell the story of the time during the Korean War they were stationed in different parts of Korea and yet one day there was your Dad outside his barrack. We've heard that story many times which shows the...

Mr Wilkins was one of my favorite teachers at Clackamas High School. He also was the best baseball coach I had in my life. He was my freshman baseball coach. I graduated from CHS in 1972. RIP Mr Wilkins.

We got to know Ed through the grandchildren, Cade, Callie and Allie at Christ the King grade school and Clackamas High School. He was such a joy to sit with at Mass at CTK and SJB. We loved him, he was such a kind, funny, articulate and amazing man. Saturday night mass will never be the same. High school sports and collegiate sports at Clackamas will never be the same. Larry always looked forward to the football and basketball games, as Ed was there in the bleachers and fun to talk with. I...
