Edwin R. Derby Jr.

To, the family of Ed Derby, our thoughts, condolences and memories. While not direct family there were many times we interacted at gatherings from a casual hello to a more in depth discussion about the outdoors. Rest in peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family during this very difficult time. It's been a very difficult year for us as well, and several others from the old neighborhood. On behalf of my family we would like to extend our condolences to you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Derby family at this difficult time. May you happy memories keep your loved one with you always.

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
