We are so sorry to hear about Ed. He had such an interesting sense of humor. It was always fun to listen to Judy's stories about things he had said or done. We still have that child's saddle he gave (loaned?) us when we bought our Shetland pony, Cocoa. I can still hear him commenting on how big our black Labrador puppy would get if he ever grew into his feet. He was so right. We know a lifetime of good memories will help carry you through the days to come.

We were saddened to read about Edgar's passing. He was a part of our family in the late 80's and early 90's when the Scott Bond family cared for our 3 children and Ed & Scott helped with our business building renovation. Our sympathy and condolences to his entire family.
