He will live on in the hearts of his family,he was a wonderful family man,may you rest in Heavenly peace.
I grew up as a child just houses from Uncle Ed. I have and always will think of him as a DAD to me!! We were together at all holidays, and no reason at all. I grew up and played with all the kids, If I did something I shouldn't have he had no problem getting after me just like one of his own!. I remember him helping me get my wedding dress out of trouble. I could go on, and on, and on with all the beautifull memories I have. He was and is an Angel , to me. He would help a total stranger off the street. Aunt JoAnn and to all of your family, Brian and I are praying for all of you to help your hearts heal, he will forever be in our memories , and missed so much. We love you all so very much Love Brian and Kathy Irwin (Goatley)
Ed was such a nice man,with a wonderful smile. I met him through the American Legion Riders of Royal Oak. He was always willing to help where needed. He will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. We are so sorry for your loss. While we didn't know Mr. Durbin well, we do know all of his daughters and if they are any indication of the spirit, love and laughter he shared in his life - he was an incredible man. Ken & Anne Kline.
Whenever I asked "How", Mr Durbin would say " a lot of hard work". A very family oriented man who stood by his word and meant what he said. You will be missed. Thank you for influencing my life.
I had the pleasure of knowing Ed for just a brief time this past summer on the American Legion Legacy Run. What a wonderful man! You could tell he was a kind, generous and loving person. My heart goes out to the Durbin family at this time of sorrow.
