Richard, Kendra,Gretchen, Marilyn, Karl,
I knew Eddie for many years. Always a friendly guy. Bought all my cars and truks from him because i nevr trusted anybody else. always honest and darn good guy.
he laughed at me becuse I tole him id never buy from nobody else and he said i better not cause he left lots of money in the farming and cattle industry just for guys like me to buy our truks from him. Funny guy.  miss seeing him around. bless all of you. Eddie was proud of wife and kids.

Gretchen and Rick that was one heck of a service for your dad!  I enjoyed listening to your memories.

I grew up in Greeley with next-door-neighbor Jason Wheeler, Ed's grandson by his daughter Gretchen (my mother?'s best friend to this day).  Of all my friends?' grandparents, Jason?'s Grandma Jean and Grandpa Ed most treated me like one of their own.  I have many fond memories of playing in their yard and cooling off with an ice-cold drink in their kitchen.  A toy wooden truck that Ed made for me remains among my favorite childhood belongings.
Gretchen, bless your heart for looking after Ed during these past years.  I?'m so glad that Leti got to meet him.  I hope you know how special you and your entire family remain to me.  Much love to you.
--E.S.--

Love and condolences to the family. Gretchen, you and your parents always made my mom, brother and I feel like family. We love you so much, and our prayers are with you during this time and always.

To Ed,
  I had seen you only once since your grandson died a few years ago.  You were  positive, so enthusiastic and so helpful to everybody.  Jason was my good friend, my mentor, and we could about our feelings.  I know you were Jason's mentor, friend and loving grandparent, and I met you only briefly.  But I remember Jason talking about you with a lot of admiration and I remember Jason saying you had a marriage like he would want some day. He loved you very much and he admired you very much too.  He said he knew you always thought the best of him and he tried to live up to that.  I heard about your death,through another mutual friend of Jasons and I was sad, but happy to know Jason has you now, his mentor, his friend, his Grandpa.  May you rest in peace for ever and ever. 
    And G, you are the still the BEST.  God Bless

I will truly miss this, one in a million guy .His eyes as they sparkeled. his laughter and jokes made me feel like  better person still teaching to the end      good bye honey bunny

My deepest and sincere sympathy.  Ed will be missed by all at Sunset Manor.

Gretchen, Although I do not know the rest of your family, I send my sincerest condolences to all of you for your loss.  The obituary was so interesting, I had no idea your father was so diverse in his interests.  He was fortunate to have such a dedicated daughter. I know you hurt, my dear. I know there will be an empty spot in your heart and empty spaces in your life, but only for a time.  Hold the thought that your Mother, your Father and your precious son, Jason, are united again in perfect harmony while you get on with God's purpose for your own life.
God's blessings to you all,
Lizzi

My thoughts and prayers are with you each of you. I enjoyed taking care of Ed While he was at Golden Peaks Nursing Home. Gretchen I knew you the best and if you need anything let me know. Your Dad was an awesome man and we had some good times with him. I will always remember his smile and how he liked to dance in the evenings before going to bed. These are only a few of the many memories I have of him. Genese :-)

Ed was a resident at the nursing home where I was  a CNA.  He was one of the happiest people I have ever cared for.  Ed was thankful for everything, tying his shoes, serving him meals, helping him walk down the hall or tucking him in bed/, he always had a smile and said ""thank you for your help"".  Ed's eyes twinkled when he teased us and liked to make us laugh.  He was a refreshing person to be around.   God bless his friends and family and help you through this hard time. I know he will be remembered and missed by lots of people.

The memories are too numerous to mention but we loved Uncle Eddie very much.  All of the Schlothauers each have special stories of the time spent with Uncle Eddie.  I (Dave) remember working and feeding cattle with Eddie, pouring concrete at his home and playing golf with him in Palm Desert, CA.  He had a unique golf driver (obviously his favorite club); the head was held on to the shaft by electricians' tape.  But Eddie could really hit the ball with it.  Great memories and much love of Eddie exist in our hearts.  God bless the family and we will remember all of you in our prayers.
