Annette, Tony and Heath,
To say we are sorry seems inadequate. So many childhood memories of him joking and playing with all of us. He was a master of pranks! He absolutely loved all the Wooldridge family and we loved him. Zane was blessed to enjoy Uncle Ed's energy and high jinks. He is in the arms of God now. One more fierce guardian angel. Much love from us both.

I have so many great memories of Ed. Most all of them bring a smile to my face. Ed had one of the most positive attitudes I have ever been around. Great family man and role model to many. Prayers for his family. So glad I had the privilege of knowing Ed Wooldridge.
