My condolences to the Girdick Family. I was the Treasurer of ISMA back in the day, and Ed and I used to work together on the Financial reporting. He was good to work with, and carried his end of things well. I know he was also active in the 25 yr picnic. I can still see him shuttling retirees around in the cart at the Lake County fairgrounds. His passing is sad, and he will be missed by those who knew him.

It was with great sadness that I learned of Ed's passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences and may memories provide peace and comfort. Danette shared many of Ed's activities and his family and friends were always one of his favorite topics. I hope that all will feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends during these trying times.
