To Ed’s Family,
I just found out about Ed’s passing on a visit to the Crofton Doctors office.
Ed was a huge personality at this office for many, many years. Ed could come off being very stern, but once you got to know him he was just a big teddy bear. He watched our family grow and took exceptional care of each of us when we were there for a routine visit or a sick visit. He would even call to check on a sick kid on a weekend! His love and dedication to his patients, and nursing career, was exceptional…a passion that is hard to find these days. Thank you Ed for all of your years of nursing to so many. May you now Rest In Peace.

Kristen and Erika,
I first worked with your Dad during the transition from Poss’ office, then we set up Family Practice of Crofton. To say that your Dad was ‘rough around the edges’ is an understatement!! My first goal was to get him to stop cussing people out! ???? But I came to know him as such a kind hearted man (but most always a pain in the butt!!). Your Dad was a truly good man and made huge contributions to our patients and all of us who worked with him. And gosh did he love you girls and his grandkids! I’m glad for him that he is with your Mom now. It was a privilege to have known him and have worked side by side with him for many years.

Erika and Kristin, my condolences. I worked with your dad for many years. He went above and beyond the call of duty, he was devoted to his patients. His work ethic was to be admired, but rarely achieved by others. He has been missed by coworkers and patients alike since his retirement. Your dad made many differences in the lives of others. May he rest in peace

Kristin and Erika, So sorry for your loss. Ed was a great friend and neighbor and will be missed. There aren’t too many stories about the old neighborhood that don’t start with “do you remember when…” and that don’t include you dad’s name. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Peace, The Weigh Station.

Ed gets a reserved seat in Heaven. As a Vietnam Medic and civilian nurse he has already seen Hell. Kathy welcomes him with open arms, they have spent too many years apart.
