Not sure what to say?

I remember Ed and his children Clay and Jake when we all lived in Bethsaida Woods many years ago. We had great times together.

Such a privilege to have known Ed for so long and for him to be a part of my family. I have two handsome, wonderful nephews that he left as a legacy. May God comfort both of them during this time of grief and find joy knowing we will see him again! Love to all!

We won't see another one of these for many a while - fire in his eye but a smile on his lips. Great fellow to work with and a pleasure to be around. He came to work each day with a sense of awe of what he had accomplished & enjoyed every second of it. Fair winds & following seas, Captain Stafford.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss, may you hold your memories in your hearts of a wonderful gentleman.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

A true Southern gentleman, a great pilot and a man I have always looked up to. What a wonderful man to emulate and admire.
