Ed was my supervisor at Upjohn for many years and I appreciated him very much because Ed led by setting a great example for his co-workers. Ed was a hard working person who was devoted to the company and to his working crew and always treated all with great kindness. My condolences to Ed\'s family and friends.

You will be missed Mr. Willie. You were well respected in the neighborhood. I always appreciated how generous you were with me as I grew up with John. I have many fond memories of great times at the lake with you and the family. I'll also always remember all of the trouble you went through to build a skating rink in your back yard so that we could enjoy those crisp winter days outdoors. On behalf of the entire Parker family, you will be missed and thanks for being such a great neighbor. Sincerely, Tim Parker

Ed was my supervisor at Upjohn. He believed in me more than I believed in myself. I became a more confident woman because of him. You will be truly missed and never forgotten. My condolences to the family.
