So sorry for your loss. He is now in a better place, free of pain. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
God Bless Ed’s memory, I enjoyed working with Ed when he started at Northwest Hospital in 1970. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I had the pleasure of getting to know Ed while working at Century Link Field. He and my mom we’re on the same team. He was such a sweet and gentle spirit and every single time I had the pleasure of being in his presence he greeted me with his big smile! Ed was such a great friend to my mom and I. I will truly miss seeing Ed. It won’t be the same.. May he rest in heavenly peace. CeCe and family, you have my deepest and sincerest condolences! May God continue to be your strength in this difficult time! Blessings.
Dear Cece:
So sorry to learn of Ed’s death. Many memories of years at Northwest Hospital gatherings. I remember,too, comparing fishing stories especially Lake Conconully. Also, running across him at Safeco. May he find peace & beauty at a lake in the sky. Fondly, Char Kaiser
Our condolence to Cec and Family. I knew Ed through Cec. Ed and Cec were going on vacation and Ed asked Bob and I if we would take care of his Fuchsias for him. He loved his Fuchsias. Ed you did not get a chance to plant them this year so I am bringing one to the house for you. Help me out Ed you have to send vibes to Cec to water/ fertilize Ed kept them in complete beauty.
