Pat and Scott:
I am so sorry for your loss. Remembering Ed as a wonderful, kind neighbor, I, too, mourn his passing. Take care of yourselves and remember his goodness. I will.

Ed was one of the best friends I ever had. He was very intelligent and capable of accomplishing anything. By any standard he was a great man. I mourn his passing as I would a close family member. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t recall something we talked about or something that happened on our numerous fishing trips. As the saying goes, they don’t make them like “Big Ed” any more.
All my love any sympathy to Pat and Scott.
Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy for the passing of Mr. Blume. You have the comfort of knowing your beloved is at rest and peace.
Sorry for your loss. Fellow Abex toolmaker.
