Memories and Condolences

Not sure what to say?





March 8, 2019

I am very sad to hear of Ed's passing and send sympathy to you, Carol, and all your family. Ed was a childhood friend from Valley View. Bud and Sarah and my mom and dad were close friends. Ed and I had a great time visiting about the good old days like the time their horse bit me and how he couldn't wait to leave farming behind him. He was known to be one of the toughest guys on the PHS football team. I sure will miss him and be thinking of him at the reunion. Love, Sue Lind Hess

I am sorry to hear of Ed's passing. I knew Ed when he worked on the maintenance Baseline crew at Pump Station 7 and at Nordale. Also when he was hauling freight north and south on the pipeline. I always enjoyed talking with him about what ever the topic of the day was when we crossed path's! Ed was a genuine and sincere man. Condolences to his family.

Carol and Family. I was saddened to see that Ed had passed away. We spent many hours together on the golf course and bowling in the Friday night league. He would come to the house after bowling and we would play pool in the garage or computer golf. My prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. Chuck
