I heard of the loss of your father today and I know how you must feel. I just can't tell you how sorry I am. I know nothing I can write can dull your sorrow since only time can do that - and one day it will. I hope you will let your thoughts be of a rich and full life spent by a good man who lived every minute without regrets. I only knew Ed for five or six years, but I believe that is probably what he would have wanted.

Sorry for the loss of your father. He use to come down to the Point Defiance Boathouse and chat with us. He was so happy and fun to talk too.
