Dad was one of two valedictorian’s for his senior year at Middletown Springs High School. He was featured along with one other in The Rutland Daily Harold in 1954. This is not the same picture they used but it appears to be around the same time.  

Ed raised two wonderful sons; Martin and the late James Van Guilder.  They remain a testament to his leadership and character.

Gibraltar circa May 1956. Back of the photo reads,… “Gibraltor 4, 5-56” If thats his handwriting it would be the first misspelling I’ve ever seen him make. 


My brother Jim with Dad as he tries to crack open a peanut at the ball game. Circa early 1970’s. 

         Eddie was my oldest brother.  He, unknowingly, set dutiful and respectful standards for me and our other five siblings.  We looked up to him.  His demeanor appeared stoic, but his presence always added honor and his opinions and knowledge greatly contributed to our family gatherings and regard.  
        I have many fond memories of our travels together; travels that included the U.S. west coast, its east coast and its neighboring countries.   
       Please know, that you, my dear brother Eddie, will always hold a special and treasured place in my heart.  
       " Love you",

The level of sacrifice you gave for our well being is unparalleled. You led by example and I will never forget the lessons learned. Love you Dad.
