Ed, my father in law was a wonderful man who will truly be missed. He emphasized the importance of higher education to my daughters Alicia and Alayna Parker (daughters of his late Son, Patrick Parker who passed away in 2004). He drove to both my daughters’ high school graduations in Colorado in 2009 and 2011 knowing that their father could not be there for them. He was so proud. Unfortunately, he was unable to attend Alicia’s Colorado State University graduation (Criminal Justice) in May 2016 due to his health. But he wrote her a long letter and told her how sorry he couldn’t attend and how proud he was of her. Although our time with Ed was not long enough, we will always cherish the wonderful memories we had with him and always remember the good advice he gave all of us. Ed, in our hearts you will always be, your love, your voice and your smile are forever in our minds.
