Edward Flory

Mr. Flory was a man of great faith, a man who had a far-reaching impact on many lives and he will be sorely missed by many people- especially his family. I knew Mr. F around 40 to 50 years , from the days he worked in 7 Hills at the Calvin Park Rec Hall to now on Facebook. We had many personal chats on Facebook, which I will always cherish in the days & years to come. Thanks for the memories, Mr. F- I hope you are enjoying playing some music up in heaven-glad to have known you.

Condolences to your family. When I last spoke with Ed, he said God was with him. He knew the Lord and was strong. Ed was my first assistant wrestling coach at Parma Senior High. We had three great years coaching a great group of wrestlers. They often mention what a great coach and person Ed was not only was a coach but a friend to me. My wife Linda and I would visit after the matches to hash over wins and losses. In 1993 Ed became the assistant principal at Greenbriar Jr.High my last year of teaching at Parma. We were Parma wrestlers, Parma teachers, I was his boss in coaching and he was my boss at the end of teaching what a run. On occasion Ed would call me about wrestling he was involved with in Florida. I know he is with his Savior. May we meet again. Linda and I are believers also and wish blessings to the family. It was great to know his life was full. Linda and Rich Fleming

This is Roger Steck. Ed and I were school mates at Parma High and Hiram College. We wrestled for our schools. Ed was very good. We were friends. We were in touch with each other until the end. We won wrestling tournaments together. Ed was a good coach. He brought good character to all the wrestlers. I have some good stories to tell you, but just be sure the stories are special. Ed was a very good person and a great friend. Roger
