Calvin and family: I justnow (Oct 31) found out about your fathers passing. I knew him and your mom for several years and their love for one another was extremely inspiring. As I helped your dad out in the end I learned of what an interesting man he truly was. He loved his family much. May God watch over you and keep you near during this time.

Ed and Barb were frequent visitors to my in-laws front yard to swing and visit with all the neighbors. He was one of the kindest gentlemen I have ever met. I will miss his wonderful smile and good humor. Barb and the rest of the family have my deepest sympathy.
