Alice and family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
We will miss seeing Ed on Jam Nights at the museum.
Love, Gary and Annie Williams
We knew Ed and Alice from the Coopersville Farm Museum Jam. When in Michigan, they were almost always in the front row and were such wonderful audience members. He once blessed me with one of his origami hearts made with a dollar bill and wouldn't let me reimburse him for it. My husband was telling me how Ed told about Alice asking him if he realized how much money he was giving away. He said he told her to just compare it to how much he spent back in the days when he was drinking. He always seemed to have a great sense of humor and a twinkle in his eye. Another sweet memory is when I once asked Ed if he married Alice because of her beautiful eyes and he looked at her and simply said, "Yes".
Our deepest sympathy goes out to Alice and all the rest of Ed's family. We can imagine him being sorely missed - but wonderfully remembered.
To the Family:
May it help in some small way to know that our thoughts are with the family.
With Deepest Sympathy.
Les & Sharon Rolison & Family
I remember Ed coming to WV with my Uncle Bud Linton years ago to go hunting. What stories they could tell about that trip!!! I went fishing with them in Lake Michigan. My husband and I visited with Ed and Alice last year when we were in Michigan. So glad we did!! So sorry for your loss. Thinking of you at this difficult time. Fred and Lucy Mohr
Thoughts and prayers going out to Aunt Alice, Larry, and family.
Growing up in my family was a great privilege. Not only did I have my great family, I had my Uncle Ed and Aunt Alice And other aunts and uncles as part of my upbringing. As we grew older and moved on with our lives they still remained important along with my other aunts and uncles as an extended family that people would be lucky to have. Uncle Ed always had a fish fry, chili dogs, or pizza to say we are important and welcome home. Thank you Uncle Ed for all the great memories! I will never forget the mini bike and fishing trips and Thanksgiving while I was in bootcamp. You were more than an uncle you were one of my life mentors. You will be sorely missed. I hope that when my time comes, I will have affected as many lives as you have. I am truly blessed to have grown up in a family that included you. God bless you and keep you as his own. I will surely miss you.
Sending thoughts and prayers to you all. Rest In Peace Uncle Ed.
