“Chrystal and family. Sorry to hear about Ed. He was one of the first people I sold wood to when I was a young forest tech. I always remember talking to him about hunting, fishing and the woods while sipping a cup of coffee at the house. He was a kind, generous man one many of us looked up to. Jim and Helen Bagley”
