Not sure what to say?

Edwin was a dear friend and confident until we lost track of each other. I will always remember our high school years and adventures. To say he was one of a kind is an understatement! I remember our last conversations in at a gathering Of high school friends at my home in 2013. I was blessed to see him again and will always remember our conversation. Rest in peace my friend

Edwin became a member of the Henry Clay Philatelic Society several years ago. He will be sadly missed by those of us who got to know him and appreciate his kind and unassuming manner. Only now we come to know more of his great legacy.

Rest in peace Edwin Hackney. And thank you for your service in the battles that really matter. Pace his brother Richard, my first love (1969).

Edwin, you helped change my life, for the better. I will forever be grateful for the time spent with you. Rest in Peace.

I am so sorry to hear of this. Edwin was a dear friend to my mother in college. I grew up hearing so many wonderful and funny stories about him. Later I actually took an ethics course from him just so I could meet this cool and wonderful person I´d heard about. It was a great class. Of course. My love to all his people, family and friends. Rest in peace, Edwin.

On behalf of AVOL Kentucky, we will cherish your every contribution you gave in creating this organization and will continue to fight the good fight following your example. Thank you, Edwin. We will miss you.
