Dear Aunt Betty and Family:
Uncle Ed was one of my heroes as a boy, even though he was only seven years older than me.
We didn't get to see him very often. A couple events come to mind.  I remember when he brought his beautiful new bride to Clarksville, Indiana on his way to Michigan for a visit. We got to meet our new Aunt Betty. I was still a teenager but He was a grown-up man with a new wife and a new car.....he was what they today call "cool".  
I enjoyed hearing Uncle Ed and my father kid each other while sitting around the kitchen table drinking coffee.  
One other occasion I remember is when Uncle Ed flew into Louisville, KY and my family and I picked him up at the airport.  He was wearing bluejeans, boots and a cowboy hat.  We all thought he was the "coolest" guy ever.

I will always have great memories of my Uncle Ed.

I want to express my condolences to you Aunt Betty. I know this is a very tough time now for you. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

To my cousins Heather and Heath and their families I want to also express my sorrow for your loss.  I have seen a few pictures on facebook, but I would like to have the opportunity to get to know you better.

My love to Aunt Betty and family

Loy Wm. (Bill) Purcell, Jr.

Dear Aunt Betty and Family,
     I share with you the loss of my uncle, Ed.  He has been part of my life since I was very young, and will always be.  He was kind, intelligent and warm...someone I always looked up to.  Although I can never see him again in this life, I look forward to a continuing relationship with his family and hope to get to know each of you better as time goes by.  My condolences to all of you.
Sincerely,
Robert A. (Bob) Purcell
