Edmondson family,

I'm so sorry for your loss. Mr. Edmondson was one of my all-time favorite people growing up.

He had a great sense of humor. I will never forget when he passed out our Little League jerseys one year and every kid on the team got to choose their number except for me. "Your jersey was custom made," he said. He tossed me the jersey, I unfolded it, and at that moment I realized I'd be the first kid in Little League history to have a non integer as a number. The number was 1/2an obvious jab at my lacking height at the time. I could not deny that it was funny. And he knew I could take it. We laughed about it for many years after.

All in all, he was a quality person who was worthy of emulation. He passed his values on to his kids, who I've always known to be good people.

Wishing you the best in the days ahead.

Shannon and Family,

I'm so sorry for your loss. Mark was the epitome of a gentleman and was so proud of his family. Although on the quiet side, Mark had the ability to get a jab in before you even realized it! The wheels were always turning! Whether on the golf course or at the restaurant, Mark was fun to be around. The world can use more Mark Edmonsons! He was a good man; God rest his soul.
