It was a real pleasure to have met and known Ed. He was a lovely man and I will remember the fun times we all had in Germany.##imported-begin##Liz Smart##imported-end##

I am thankful that I had Ed as an uncle. He was such a kind hearted individual and always had a pleasant personality - even while surrounded by a house full of bratty nieces and nephews! I admired his intelligence and his passion for life. You will be missed Uncle Ed.##imported-begin##Karen (Sherk) Poch##imported-end##
Dearest Alix and family,
We would like to express our sincerest condolences. Last week the world lost a true renaissance man and loving husband and father. We will miss seeing Ed’s smiling face and familiar wave as he and Alix were driving through the neighborhood. The two of you are absolute pillars in our community. Words escape us to tell you how impressed and moved Lorrie and I are that you decided to bring Ed home so that he would pass away at home with dignity and in peace surrounded by his loved ones. Alix, your strength during this time has been an inspiration. You are truly a testament to what good taste and judgment Ed possessed. He will be truly missed.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Mark, Lorrie, and the girls##imported-begin##The St. Laurent Family##imported-end##

You are in our thoughts and our prayers.
