Dear Janet, I shared a wonderful summer with Edgar in 1944 at Camp Rising Sun. It was a powerful and meaningful experience for me as I know it was for Edgar.He was a very thoughtful individual sensitive to the needs of others. I do hope the wonmderful memories that you and the family have will in part compensate for the loss.

Janet, David and Paul,

So sorry to hear of Ed's passing. He was a special guy. I'll always remember the wonderful dinner we had at Bayona when Ed and Janet came to New Orleans for the ABA. And who could forget the farm with all those hats on the wall and the collection of jigsaws? My thoughts are with you all at this time. My condolences to all of you.

We had many fond memories of times spent with Ed and his family, both in the early years in Hollin Hills and later in Rappahannock county. Ed showed us a great deal of hospitality at times in his home. My sympathies to his family.
