My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Barbara, Kim & family. I have many very fond memories of Edwin, (Barbara & Kim as well) especially in my younger years while attending Union Temple church, along with all of the events, including the many fundraiser events that help build the new "Union Temple U.M. Church" as he was always eager to help in any way possible. Edwin was a pillar of the community and a good friend. He will surely be missed by all who knew him. May God bless and comfort this family during this time of such a loss.

So sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of the many friends that were made at the 4-Way, many of which caught the bus to Eastman there. Juanita Payne Dobson
Barbara and Kim, I'm so sorry to hear of Ed's passing. I have thought of him often, and wondered how you all were doing. I worked in the lab at Eastman with Ed for so many years. We all were like family. He was a good man, great coworker, and well liked at Eastman. Prayers for peace and comfort during this time and forward. He will be missed.
