In Loving Memory of Ed Strapp

In Loving Memory of Ed Strapp

It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to a beloved member of our community, Ed Strapp. Formerly residing on Woodbridge Drive, Ed touched the lives of many with his kindness, warmth, and unwavering friendship.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ed's family and loved ones during this difficult time. May they find comfort in the cherished memories and the outpouring of love and support from the community.
