Cindy (Williams) Stanton says
I was so sad to learn of Ed’s passing. He was always friendly and kind to me. He offered to come help me load my belongings to move and brought two young helpers. When I went to pay them Edward said no, that the young men needed to learn to do for others out of kindness. I had a hard time convincing him that I really needed and wanted to pay them. What a wonderful fellow. He will be missed.
Willow says
To the FOX FAMILIES: My Condolences to your and all your wonderful Families ” May the lord bring you peace and comfort at this time” Praying for you all…..
