Ed hired me in the Tax Department at Boise Cascade in 1988. He was a great manager and so supportive over the years. So sad to hear he is gone. Condolences for Darlene and his family.

Ed, his wife, Darlene and Ed's sister, Karen, and I graduated from Plentywood High School (Montana) in 1962. I remember Ed as having a beautiful singing voice and playing trumpet in the band. He and Darlene were high school sweethearts so no one can say that young love isn't genuine and lasting. Ed was a quiet guy and a smart cookie. He and Eileen (Rasmussen) Nielsen had a friendly rivalry in algebra and high math classes as both were so good. The world has lost a great guy, and I extend my thoughts and sympathy to his family. Rest well, classmate; the battle is over, the victory is won.

My heartfelt sympathy to the family. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" strengthen you during these difficult times. Isaiah 61:1, 2
