| Fri, Nov 20, 2009 1:33 pm | To the family of
Ed Salmon, I deeply regret the loss your beloved family member Ed Salmon. I grew up in a hardware store, Farmers Delight, in the Webster area of Taylor county. I have memories of Ed that go back to my early childhood and into my adulthood with dealing with him through Bridgeport Dist. I havn't seen him since 2003/4 when my wife and I stopped by his house to look at a camper he wanted to sell. I've always enjoyed the stories and the laughter we both shared through the years at Farmers Delight, Bridgeport Dist. and Eastern Pet. I knew his wife as well from picking up orders at BD, very sweet lady. I always think of them when passing their old building and house, or when I get my haircut there. Sorry to be so long winded, but I just needed say my peace and wish that your family gets through these hard times. You will be in our prayers! Joe Veltri Eastern Pet Supply Bridgeport |
