EDWIN RALPH SCHOLL Jr.

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with the Scholl Family. Ralph was a great and wise man who lived life to the fullest and with an amazing altruism. He was a patriot of the type that has made our nation a great and strong land.

We extend our deepest sympathy to the Scholl family. Ed was Bob's C&GS; Instructor & later a colleague in the 2072d USAR School and ROA for many years. He was a truly unique individual of many talents. May God lighten the burdens of your sadness and console your grieving hearts at this difficult time. We surely will toast to his memory!

We send our sympathies to the Scholl family. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time. Fred and Ed shared many wonderful times during their reserve and retirement years. Ed was Fred's mentor, friend, and fellow reservist and ROA member. God Bless, Fred and Lois Peck

Family of Ed Scholl, my name is Tom Ronk and I am the Executive Director of Reenactments for the Lewis and Clark Discovery Expedition of St. Charles, MO. I just wanted you to know first of all how sorry I am for your loss of Ed. My friendship with Col. Ed started during the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial and I can tell you your Father took in every day on the trail and lived life to the fullest. I admired your Father as a Patriot, Historian and a true American who loved his Country. I will...

Our sympathies to all the Scholl family. We will keep you in our thoughts... I will remember Ralph and his 67 LeMans listening to KYW News, the Amphi-car and all the trips in Lake Harmony, the wonderful picnics at Lake Hauto, dancing to the Polkas,and his nickname for me as his kid sister-in-law, " AnneWhatAm." Good memories. Thanks Ralphie! Hope your next life is filled with twice as many adventures...

I last saw Ed at Massac in October. We both were in Louisville for the first event, then I had to return home and rejoin the group but Ed was on the river to Massac. We shared a motel room as we had done many times during bicentennial. For all of '03 and most of '04 we traveled together to the events. During '05 and '06 he was able to be out on the trail more than I was. He was always prepared when we met with the public...both adults and children. He always did his share. I will...

Some leaders are elected and some are born. Col. Rd was a natural. Always an inspiration to myself and many others.

I met Ed through DESC. Worked with him at several events! When I first met him I didn't know what to think! After I got to know him I found out that he was one of the best friends you could ever have! I will miss see him at our usual events!
He will be greatly missed by all who knew him!!
