    Dear Lake Family
    My Wife Robin and I were very saddened to hear of Ed’s passing.
    I think fondly on the memories of Ed coming in to Williams & Hibler for supplies & just great conversation, as well as many nights playing Softball.
    We know kind words cannot take the sting of Ed’s passing away, though I hope they would, we will keep you all before our FATHER in Heaven, the only one who can Comfort in these times, and ask through Christ our LORD that HE will Bless You & Keep You now and always.

    I had vivid memories of Eddie!! We spent many times playing kickball and tag in his back yard, swimming in their pool and playing upstairs in the attic!!
    I remembered meeting both (Chrissy and Eddie) when I would be riding my bike up and down the sidewalks of Willow Grove and Franklin streets. Ever since that one day we we would all play together!!
    Such innocent and fun memories…
    Rest in Peace Eddie, I will never forget the fun times we had when we were kids!!
    My condolences to Mr. Lake and Chris…❤️

    Dear Christine, So very sorry to hear about your brother Eddie. Ed was always fun to be around, because he was a free spirit, you never knew how to handle his energy at times! It was great to see him be “Steady Eddie”, himself….who cares whatever anyone else thought. Sorry to see him go. Prayers for you and your family.
