Edwin was a special man that I was so blessed to be a small part of his life. An avid outdoorsman, expert at fishing and hunting, Pedro player, and chess, and the best for me was cooking and cleaning house. He always loved doing things with family and friends. Edwin truly taught my son, Kendall to fish, process deer, and just be a helper for Kendall's long list of projects. Edwin fell sick will back surgery then liver disease right after we married. It was thankful was a nurse and "loved" my patients, just never took one home for fourteen years, haha.
