Thanks for the great memories. Also some of the best phrases only you could make note worthy. You are missed Grandpa Ed. Gone in person but Always here in spirit. 

My heart hurts with you all. Uncle Eddie will forever be part of my favorite childhood memories! Summer vacations meant visiting Washington and staying with your family! We had lots of adventures, camping, fishing!! Uncle Ed is the only person I’ve ever seen catch and clean a sturgeon! I can still see it in my head!!  Fishing The Columbia River together was a blast and my first experience seeing big fish! I can still hear his voice, it was big at times!! I see his smile and remember his warm hugs.  He made us feel loved and welcomed.  Rest In Peace uncle.  Sending love and hugs to my cousins and all who loved him. 

I'm so sorry for your loss. This part of life really sucks. I don't remember a lot from back then when we visited WA.I was so young. but I remember big foot and green olives in a big jar , with your mom n dad. My prayers are with you all. love and hugs

Rest well Dad, you fought a hard fight. I will miss you always.

RIP Dad. Miss you <3
