Not sure what to say?

[I just wanted to leave a short message memorializing the artist Melvin Schuler: ] His legacy lives on through the incredible work he gave us all.... One of his public sculptures is located in Seattle, WA. It's a short walk North of The Aquarium and Pier 62. It's on the East side of the street (not the Puget Sound side). ...For those who are familiar with "The Great Seal" of the state of Washington, it's somewhat reminiscent of it. Thank goodness for good people and good art and...

Deepest sympathy to you Ed. We will miss seeing and talking to Mel about your travels and about art. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Much Love, Leslie and Janett Price

I just heard of Mel's passing and want to extend my love to Ed and all those connected with Mel. What a lovely man, always so interesting and knowledgeable! He taught me how to pound copper onto the pillars at Plaza Design in the '90's. Thanks Mel and God Speed!

My deepest sympathy to Mel's family for their loss. Mel was a major part of my student life in the Art Department at Humboldt and a great influence as an art teacher. His warmth and friendship will be missed always.

Dear Ed, I am so sad that Mel is gone from us. I know he loved you very much. All of us who could call him friend have been enriched by his life. He sparked a love of art in me that I did not know I had until I met him. You are so very lucky to have shared his life and been his soul mate. My love to you, Les Lee Launer

Dear Ed,
I was so sad to read of Mel's passing this morning. I have many fond memories of the lively conversations with the both of you, at local art openings, while in the company of Richard & Nancy. Mel was a truly talented artist who made our area proud! He had a great sense of humor and I know he must have been a wonderful teacher. Most importantly of all, he was just a great human being. The world will be a less beautiful place now that he's gone. I know this must be a very...

Ed, my heart is sad but I will always think of watching your relationship with Mel when he countered your boldness and I'll smile. To me, Mel was a mentor of practicality and honesty. I'll cherish my acquaintance with him.
