We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Ed. He was a wonderful neighbor and man. We will always remember his thoughtfulness in sharing his produce and taking the time to stop by and just chat. Rest in peace, Ed.
Marie and family,
So sorry to hear about Ed. He was a kind generous and caring neighbor . Always having time to stop and visit with you . When we moved to Tory Road he was the first one to welcome us and when we moved away he was there to help us. Keeping the family in our prayers.
Love and prayers.
Sympathies to the family. Ed was such a nice person. I will always remember him smiling…constantly. God bless you and give you comfort.

One of my very favorite teachers! He truly cared about the students, and as a really shy kid, he made me feel seen. His Biology class was never boring and he taught us all so much more than just what was in the book. I was so happy to run into him a few years ago at my son’s track meet and to see that he was still involved in QV sports. He was just as kind as ever. My prayers go out to his family and friends. He will be remembered fondly.
I have such fond memories of Mr. Shreiber from Junior High biology. He was one of the teachers that inspired me to become a nurse. He also always had a smile and connected with every student. Prayers for his family.
