I am so very sad to learn about Mr Luther's passing. He was such a lovely gentleman. I enjoyed talking travel and photography with him when he lived at Stonehaven. I am happy he was able to return to Mountain View. He loved that area. He told me great stories of exploring all over the area when his was a school boy. Rest In Peace, sweet Mr Luther.

We are so saddened about the loss of this wonderful man. He was one of a kind special. Edwin was always ready to share a story about the community and the history of the county. He is one of the last true pioneers of the county. We will remember him forever and always. Deepest sympathies Sandra to you and your family. It's so hard to lose a parent, especially the last one.

To Sandra & Family
My sincerest condolences regarding Edwin's death. I worked as an insurance adjuster for Shelter Insurance for many years and worked with Edwin. What a dear sweet man who would do anything for anyone. He was always one of my "special" agents and my many memories of him are fond. Your mother Evelyn painted a picture for me many years and still hangs on my wall.
If I had known about his death ( as I just found out today) I would have been there. My best to you and your family.
Sincerely
Melanie Powell
