Thought about you today and found this. Remember fishing for sand trout at the Coast Guard Station in Corpus Christi with you and your wife. Also remember how you conned me into being Santa Claus! Rest in peace old friend. - Jim Hartman

You are a very loving and kindhearted cousin, Manong Edwin. My parents, siblings and I had only good memories of you while we living in Bayambang (Pangasinan), the parties and laughter in Manila, your surprise visit to our house in Bayambang while you were on furlough in the Philippines (you've given my Dad a watch), and the warm welcome I spent in Virginia in 1993 - I will forever cherish those memories with you. So long my dear cousin, we love you so much. Forever in our hearts, Cherry and family from Toronto, Canada and the Philippines.
