Dr. Raymond Ediger

He was a gentle giant, a person who lived a very full life and left a legacy of caring for others, for animals, and for the future. He also left laughter in that book, not funny-funny-ha-ha, but a real enjoyment of the vagaries of existence. He will be missed.

I worked with Ray at the Md Department of Agricultural. He was was a wonderful colleague and friend. One of my favorite memories: as we would be driving to Animal Health meetings, Ray would be in the passenger seat working on a rope show halter for show calves.

I knew Ray from Art Class. He came as a "beginner" but was truly excellent. Last year he came into class one day and told us that he had gotten stuck under the sink that weekend while fixing a small plumbing problem. I teased him that he was going to be the new poster child for the "Help I can't get up" commercial, and suggested that perhaps he might not want to be crawling under the sink. What I remember is that he was one of the most alive, truly present people that I have met. He was fully engaged in life and in all those around him. He is truly missed.

I am so sorry for you loss lynelle. Your father was such a wonderful man . He had a beautiful soul and will be missed Growing up , I always enjoyed walking on the farm and visiting the animals. I have fond memories of both your mother and father from my time in 4H. The world lost a great man .

Ray was a good friend and travel companion

Dr. Edigar always welcomed us (harp students) onto his farm. I remember him giving us the honor of naming is newborn calves. He and I agreed on the name Pomegranate for the cute guy in the photo. Our family enjoyed his humor and amazing stories as well about his animals. He was a sweet man and will be missed greatly.
