Dear Outten Family,
Donna & I were saddened to learn of Ed's passing. Although we were not "close" we knew we could always count on a smile and friendly "hello" when we saw him at his "other" home at the Beach Club in OC.
Out condolences are with you. He & you will remain in our prayers.

Dear Jean and Jeff,
So many good memories over many years. I would ask Ed "How old are we this year"? He would say "39". Our birthdays being about a month apart. After several years he did say we were "past 39".
Jean, Jeff and Family Thinking of You All With Love.
