H. Edward Hunsburger

Edward was the kind of man who could quickly make himself a fixture in a place – in many ways, a trip to International Delights or the Branigan Cultural Center in Las Cruces was never truly complete until one had seen Edward and chatted with him for a bit.

Edward was one of the first people I met upon moving to Las Cruces and I worked with him frequently at the Museum of Art.

My name is Natasha, I worked at Claymore's coffee house where Edward was a daily regular. I will always remember our conversations on books, my schooling (I was attending NMSU at the time) and family. He always spoke of his daughter with such pride.

Please know you will be in my thoughts and prayers and I...

Edward was a regular in my coffee house and I considered him a friend. He was there the day my daughter took her first steps. He was a good person and I will miss him.
