I was saddened to learn of Edgar passing. My deepest sympathy to Adeline, Don, Alexis, Cindy and the Richardson family. I always enjoyed spending time with Edgar when I traveled to San Antonio to visit my sister Cindy and niece Alexis. Edgar was a shining example of "the greatest generation" through his service to his country, his commitment and dedication to his family and his exemplary work ethic. Rest in peace Edgar.
