Wilson Connell "Connie" Edwards

Picture of me (Donato ) and Phillips Manager, Fred Forward and Landman Ed Gorence . I was there by special invitation to celebrate the successful wildcat well drilled , PPCo #1 Edwards,
the discovery well in the West Edwards field in Ector Co. Tx. It was my Tee Pee prospect (named after a TP survey) a Wolfcamp Reef prospect found by my Geology alone. As I recall, the well came in for around 450 bbls. a day. As of January 2014 the field had produced 11.3 million barrels of oil And 22.2 Billion CF Gas. . It was still producing 30 BOPD then .
Donato "Dan" Cipriani retired from PP Co. as a Geological Supervisor in Development after37 years.

It's June 11, 2020. I just found out about Connie passing. I wish I had been there to help him fill out his final flight plan. There were three men in my life who influenced my journey the most , my father, father in law and Connie. He was the most honorable, courageous patriot I have ever known. I was 19 when I met him to ask if he would do a fly over in his AT -6 for my father's retirement at Webb AFB. He never hesitated and my father never forgot. Time kept us apart but we connected as much as possible. I know for the last year he has "slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the skies on laughter -silvered wings" . I hope this message of love and gratitude for Connie reaches his family. He was an incredible man and it was a privelede to call him friend.

Patricia, I'm deeply sorry to learn of your father's passing. My condolences go out to you and your family.

Your good good friend Felicia.

My Daddy,
No matter what we had an unbreakable and very special father daughter connection and bond. You were and still are my rock and now we are able to spend however much time together in spirit. Thank you for going above and beyond to give me and my brothers such a privileged life but even more importantly leaving us with the priceless inherited gifts of Integrity, Honesty, Appreciation, and Good Character. I'm so proud to be your first born and only daughter and I will do what I can to protect and honor our family name and the integrity of our legacy about which makes me and my brother Nick so proud. I love you. Pze

Our condolences from the family of Don Plumb. Connie was a great friend to us when our husband and dad was lost in the crash of his P-51 not far from Connie's ranch (1975). We will always remember his kindness during that time.

My late husband, Mike Pinkard, loved visiting with Connie and seeing his planes. May God's comforting arms envelop you all during this time of earthly loss.

I can remember the many visits Connie and my father had at our family Hester's Office Supply store. The many stories Connie and "Noel "GOAT SR" shared. Connie always welcomed our family to the ranch as well as my father's cousin working for Connie all the many years doing books for Connies business. May God Bless you all.Noel Wayne "GOAT JR" Hull.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
