Edwin "Ed" Roy Shaffer

I was Ed's choir director for four years. He was a very personable guy and always went out of his way to talk to people and see how things were going. I realize I'm a bit late, but I'm very sorry that he's no longer with us. I am sure God is taking good care of him.

Ed was a beloved member of the Tower Hill Botanic Garden community attending events on a regular basis. We loved seeing him and talking to him about his family of which he was so proud! What a dear, sweet man who was a wonderful conversationalist. We will miss his smiling face and cheerful demeanor. We have a very sweet photo of him from a recent event. Please email at [email protected] and I will send it along.

Dear John, Dave, Nancy and Peter,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and your families! We had an awesome neighborhood to grow up in together. Everybody helped out with whatever the needs were with love for each other. I personally will remember both your parents as our extended family❤
I know your mom has welcomed him with a big hug and they are reuniting with my parents and neighbors.
Sending peace during this hard time!
Love, Gina & Brad Miller

I'll miss Ed - I noticed he wasn't at the last couple of Indian Hill Orchestra concerts, and he had always been there. Ed and I both played in the Groton Senior Golf League for many years, and I also used to see Ed at Emerson during the years the my parents were frequently there. Ed - always with a smile for everyone!

Dear John & Family .
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time

I will miss our phones calls Ed. Deep sympathies to Ed's whole family and his friends. Love from Chick.

Ed was kind, friendly, positive, supportive, and genuinely interested in others. We will miss him dearly and the only saving grace to his passing is knowing that he and Millie are reunited in Heaven.

Uncle Ed, so glad I was able to spend time with you last summer. I'll watch for a sign from you (random golf ball, perhaps?) You will be missed and never forgotten. Sending my love to all - Ruth

Dear David and family,

Know my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of profound sorrow.

Your parents were salt of the earth people who profoundly loved their family. My parents, especially adored them.

I am certain your sweet mother's hands and hugs greeted your beloved Dad and will as they now are together for eternity. May your fond memories sustain you as you go through the next several days and thereafter.

What a blessing we had with such...
