Dennis and family ,
We are so sorry for your loss. I sure did enjoy going to camp with your dad and Molly. I also enjoyed going to visit him in the home, we had some good talks about the old days, and had fun watching the squirrels come to the bird feeder. I'm going to miss him.

Unfortunately, I am not be able to attend the viewing as I am out of town. I have a tremendous amount of great memories camping and fishing with Ed. He played a large part in my life. The life skills I learned from him and his brother Bill have made me a better person. I will miss seeing John, Dennis and David at the viewing. My thoughts are with them.

My brother, Bob Martin, just sent me this. He believes Ed sold my dad, Chip Martin, his camp in Spring Creek and Ed had a cabin down the road from us. If so, thank you Ed for so many good memories. My dad taught me how to fly fish and hunt at this camp and I loved every second of our time there.
I live in San Diego and my husband and I are building a home in Montana so we can fly fish close by!
