Dave,

So sorry to hear about your dad. Living a long life does have its advantages though, so hopefully you can focus on what I would imagine are the many positive memories you had. My best to you and your family and my thoughts are with you.

Dear June, our sincerest condolences go out to you and family. May the words found at Psalms 90:10 give you a measure of comfort knowing that Ed lived a long and fulfilling life.

June, Sincere condolences. As you may remember I knew Ed long before Fenwick days. We were neighbors on Monroe Street in Resurrection Parish and classmates in our first three grades. Ed was a true gentleman and will be greatly missed.
I hope I can make it to the service. Bill Cowhey
