My condolences to the family of Ed Pritzke. He was my immediate supervisor in the Planning Department at International Harvester Company for several years. I believe he was an honest and fair man -- a gentleman. I personally esteemed him highly. I pray God's richest blessings on the family through our Lord Jesus.

Ed Pritzke was one of the most amazing men I could ever hope to know - even if I was too young to know it at the time. He lives on in all of us who knew him and in those who continue to hear about him. Ed - I'll keep my tackle box clean for you. I promise. May God bless Ruth, David and Carol Lynn during this time.

My dear CarolLynn,David and Ruth,
Our love, thoughts, prayers and years and years of rememberance are with you.
We feel as if we have lost our own Dad, Grandpa. Our lives shared on Chickasaw Rd. were THE BEST. We will always love you and fishing at "Ed's Lake" is now a part of our vocabulary and our lives. We will always have a pole rigged for him.

Ruth-
Gene and I were so sad to hear about Ed's death. His smile, however, will live in our memories forever. What a fun person he was! May God bless you abundantly in the days and weeks ahead.
