Very sorry to learn of the passing of Ed. We graduated together with the class of 1956 at DM Tech. Later on we were both teachers at Tech and consequently retired from Tech (now Central Campus) in 2000.

Sandy and family, so sorry for your loss. I also remember him as "Buddy". Our family and the Pilkingtons were friends for as far back as I remember. Such a great family. We had many amazing times together. Bud, please give "Del" a hug for me. I think of her and Marion often. RIP my friend.

Sandy and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I shall remember Ed coming in with you to the library, and always sitting in the chair saying" I am being good just sitting here waiting" while you picked out your items to check out! I truly enjoyed joking with him and he always had a smile. Know that he is comfortable and resting in the arms of Jesus.
