What a shock to read this. Ed was principal at both of my sons school way back in 2005. There were some struggles in our family life and he recognized that and mentored my boys. He also took me under his wing and listening to me vent, offering only words of support and kindness. I know his wife (ex) and his daughter were the highlights of his well accomplished life. Never expected this to be how his story ended. Lifting him up in prayer.

I have know Ed,since he was a young boy.
He always had a big smile, and a clever sense of humor.
Throughout the years, he developed his career, had a wonderful family.
He touched so many lives during that career, making a difference with the help and guidance he showed.
He will be sadly missed.
My heart goes out to Chloe, the Love and Joy of his life and to his family and many friends.

We are so very sorry for your loss. I met Mr. Boswell during my son's freshman year and I have to say, he is truly one of a kind. Carried my chairs after surgery, and always made me smile. Thank you to his family, he was absolutely a fantastic gentleman to me.
