Dear Vicki,
I am so sorry to learn of Ed’s passing away.  Life goes by too quickly.  Judy told me about his struggle to conquer his cancer and how strong he was not to give up easily.  Take care of yourself.
With deepest sympathy,
Arlene Wilhelm

I worked with Ed years ago and chatted with him from time to time through the years. I always respected Ed’s integrity and his openness to his personal, inner expansion, his willingness to deepen his life.  The quality of his person will be missed.  I extend my condolences to his family, friends and loved ones.  With a deep bow of gratitude, Karen Ember Williams

Ed was a wonderful trainer to our mediation training class that I took last fall. He was very insightful in his comments and a great role model in his skill level. Very sorry to hear this news of his loss. My condolences to the family and his wife. Paula Silverstein

Ed C. was a valued member of a men’s group on Thursday nights and will be missed significantly. His openness, honesty and depth of self awareness was truly inspiring to all who witnessed his journey. Arriving to this long-standing group later in life did not in any way impeed his ability to integrate himself into the group. Of note was his great willingness to challenge himself and participate on a deeper level as quickly as any have done in the past. A great friend to us all, very encouraging, we will miss his spirit of self-discovery.
I was proud to know him, and call him a true friend ~ Randy M.

Ed Carskadon was a regular participant at our Vigil for Peace and Non-violence every Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to Noon on the steps of the old courthouse on East King Street. He always came with a sign and stood with us in silence for the hour, as people walked and drove by. Whether they noticed Ed and the rest of us, one can’t say. Standing up in public for one’s principles is not easy, and the ideals of peace and non-violence were not very popular at that time. But Ed was willing to join us few in this public witness to his own support of these guiding principles. Ed always looked fit and tanned, which, he said, came from playing golf. We learned that he was dealing with cancer, and for a long time we did not see him. Later I met Ed, and we had a short but nice chat. I am sad to read of his death. He supported us and the cause of peace and non-violence and of friendship for all people, and that is greatly to his credit. His spirit will reside with all people of good will. Good bye, Ed. from your fellow toiler in the vineyard of Peace, Charles Lane

Offering sincere condolences. Ed was a super guy. I worked with Ed for a number of years, and knew him a bit outside of work, and very much appreciated his calm intelligence, logic, and wry sense of humor. I will be out of town on the 19th but will be sending positive energy to the family.
