Alice: I was sorry to hear about Ed's passing. Some of the most enjoyable memories I have of Unity include Ed Thun. I remember going on canoe trips with Ed and the youth. I remember him preaching on the disciples when I was gone. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Ed and your family. Ed will be greatly missed. Pastor Dave Mattson

To the Thun Family,
I fist met Ed when he worked at Muskit on Central & Berteau. I was a police officer and loved Ed's Blue light on the roof of the store if there was a problem. I also had the pleasure of working with him in the 18th District. We talked alot about our faith in God and the love of family.
My prayers are for you in your time of sorrow.
God Bless,

Dear Thun Family,
My condolences to you. Ed was a caring, wonderful man. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I hold fond memories of him in my heart from different Unity functions, confirmation class and ski trips.
My grandma, Irma Cordello, was devoted to Unity and cared deeply for the Thun family too.
Deepest sympathy,
Dawn Carlson
