My thoughts and prayers are with you. Mr. Edson was was my fifth grade teacher at Washington Elementary in the early 60’s. He was a great teacher and mentor.
My condolences. Mr. Edson was my brother and my 5th-grade teacher at Washington Elementary circa 70s-80s. He was a kind and patient person and most of all … a great teacher. We both would like to say thank you.
Jim was always a cheerful helpful docent training me at the Pueblo Zoo. His calm thoughtful teaching style helped many students to appreciate our natural world!!
Deepest Sympathy at the loss of your husband, father!! Jim will be missed
got to know them both at our PRSEA meeting!! God bless his family!!
