Ed's spirit and memory will live on with all who knew him...a true gentleman in every sense of the word. I was a fraternity brother of Ed's and roomed with him our final two years at Shippensburg. RIP ED!

Ed was a true Gentleman. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

July 13, 2011

Kasi, Shaun, and families,
Your father was a sweet gentleman. I knew him since our first day at college together--in 1965. He was ever a man of integrity and honor--a fine example for all of us who had the privilege of knowing him well. I always thought that the love your family shared openly was just the way God intended families to be. And he was so fond of little Eryn (with a "y," he would say). I was very thankful that he was able to see pictures of little Solis before God took him home. Shaun and Kasi, I want to thank you for honoring Dad's last requests and for letting him die with the dignity that marked his life all the years I knew him. You are a sweet family. May the Lord bless you always.
