My condolences on Ed's passing! I knew both Ed and Nancy while employed at their doctor's office! Very lovely people! Ed was a soft-spoken kindly-mannered man whom I enjoyed many good conversations with whenever he visited the office!

Dear Mark, Bob, Ned, Chris and Families,
It is with deep sadness to hear about the death of our cousin and good friend Ed Featherstone. I (Bill) was the one who got him hooked on skiing. Despite his taking at least a dozen falls on that first ski trip, he grew to love the sport and laugh at his errors with that typical engaging perpetual smile. Marilyn and I have shared manygreatmemories of him.
With deepest sympathies,
Marilyn and Bill Hall

My condolences to Ed's family. We have lost a fine friend and neighbor here at Newberry. I feel honored to have had Ed at my home for dinner and thrilled he considered myself a wonderful cook. I will truly miss him and remember his fun sense of humor and what an interesting man he was. Rest in peace, Ed.
