I first met Ed when I was the Animal Control Officer in Hemet over 40 years ago.  He was one of my supervisors and always treated me well.  His great sense of humor was endearing and he was always supportive.  I had the honor of becoming one of Ed's friends after he retired and enjoyed visiting him whenever I was in Hemet.  He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.  My most sincere condolences go to Judi and the rest of Ed's family.  May they all find strength and guidance during this most difficult time.

Dear Patterson Family, 
Ed was a friend of my father(Shelby Freeman), back in the late 60s or early 70’s when they both worked for the Hemet PD.   I remember as a little kid, visiting your house in Hemet as my parents socialized (Ed & my father, and wives). I also remember Ed as a funny person with a hearty laugh.   Ed also came to my mom’s memorial service in 2017, we were quite surprised to see him, and so touched he attended.  
Please accept our deepest condolences and may Ed rest in peace.   

Best regards, 
Shelby and Eileen’s Children
Mitch, Marilyn, and Jill

My prayers go out to Ed and Family during this time of grief and loneliness.I have good memories of Ed when he was with the Hemet PD he would greet me at the store after many false alarms in the middle of the night with a smile and maybe a joke or two.He was professional but easy going and a great policeman.

I will miss a good friend.  Ed's faith and his dedication to Cornerstone Church were an inspiration to me.  My son Jeff who played baseball under Ed. wrote: Ed or Sarge was a coach orBlue( slang for umpire).  He made baseball fun for the players of Youth Baseball.  It was people like Sarge that gave young kids in the community opportunities they would not have had.  Sarge was a good coach, and was a person who gave of himself to Youth Baseball and to the commonity.  He wiil be missed, and the Pittsburgh Pirates. and Steelers will miss a loyal fan.
