Celebration of Life: Fall City Masonic Hall

Saturday, September 6, 2014 at 4:00 PM

Passed away Sunday, August 17, 2014 at age 91. Ed is survived by Ann, his wife of 67 years, son David Stow of Duvall, son Mike (Cheri) Stow of Albuquerque, NM; daughter Leanne (Kevin) Adcox of North Bend, Daughter Kelle (Craig) Elliott of Fall City, 7 grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren.

Ed was born May 16th 1923 at the Snoqualmie Falls Hospital in the old mill town of Snoqualmie Falls.

Ed graduated from Fall City High School in 1942. He joined the Army in 1943. He served in the United States first as a photographer and later in Europe as a jeep messenger.

Ed met Ann Garbe at Washington State University after the war. They were married in August 1947.

Ed was known for his sense of humor and his love of a good joke. In his younger years he was a great joke teller. In his later years he often changed the punch line to throw others off and to ‘trick’ those that said ‘Yes Ed, I’ve heard that one before.’

There will be a Memorial Potluck to celebrate Ed’s life on Saturday, September 6th ~ the Fall City Masonic Hall at 4:00pm. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Fall City Historical Society.

Friends are invited to share memories in the family’s guest book at www.flintofts.com
