I knew Ed for over 30 years, first as a barber then as a friend. I looked forward to getting a hair cut because I would ALWAYS leave laughing and of course looking better. It was a shock to hear of his passing, as with all friends he will be missed. I am glad I knew Ed! JIM HARRISON, APRIL 27, 2010 Dear Avalos family. I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of visiting Ed at The Grooming Room for over 10 years. He was a wonderful man. It was always the bright spot of my day when I was able to listen to his jokes. He had a very warm and humorous personality that made me smile. He definitely left this Earth a better place than he found it. May God bless his and all of our souls. JUSTIN H, MARCH 29, 2010 I was shocked to learn of Ed's death today, when I went in for a haircut, as I have for the past 26 years. I will miss him very much. Ed was very proud of his family and had a story about one of you every time we were together. You were his favorite subject of conversation. What a fine man. May God bless you with peace and comfort as you adjust to your loss.

COLLIN M. ROBERTS, FEBRUARY 28, 2010 For over 30 years I had the pleasure of having Ed as my barber and my friend. Since first meeting Ed while atending SMU's graduate business school, I have only had two haircuts from anyone else. Ed followed my life as a friend and watched my family grow as he cut my son's hair as well. He will be truly missed in our life. We express our deepest condolences to his family. He was a great man that made everyone's day brighter. MICHAEL COOKE, FEBRUARY 25, 2010 Tia Gloria & Family, I can't say how sorry I am for your loss. I know how much my Mom will miss Uncle Edmund. I will remember him with love and fondness, especially every time we use the cover he gave us to cut our kids' hair! With love, Celisa, Ricardo, Gage, Archer, Ellery, & Trek. CELISA K. DATE, FEBRUARY 23, 2010 Ed was my friend for 30 years. I started visiting him at Culwell when I got out of law school and enjoyed his company frequently since. When my father was ill, Ed would go to his home to cut his hair. And when my first son was born, he cut his hair too. He was a part of our life. He was always interested in my family's health, and well being. We spent a lof ot time talking about his family and he was very proud of them all. I am honored to have known him. Warm wishes to all his family. TIMOTHY R. VAUGHAN, FEBRUARY 23, 2010 Ed and I talked about spiritual realities several times as he cut my hair over the last 20 years. He assured me that he had trusted Jesus Christ as his personal savior and he was relying upon Jesus alone to get him to heaven. That is grace and that grace will be found to be sufficient as always. So, family, be encouraged that Ed will be reunited with you one day if you too have trusted in Jesus to be your savior. I can only imagine that Ed is talking to Samson right now about the length of his hair. DR. B. DALE TALIAFERRO, FEBRUARY 22, 2010 Ed always greeted me at the Barber Shop. After a tough day on the Dallas City Council Ed always had kind, reassuring words for me. I will miss his friendly
face and warm greeting. GARY GRIFFITH, FEBRUARY 22, 2010 Manny, we are sorry for your loss and just wanted to let you know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

TERRY RAY JOHNSON, FEBRUARY 22, 2010 Manny, I am so sorry for your loss. Your father must have been a fine man. He raised you, a fine son. DEANA WILSON EVANS, FEBRUARY 21, 2010 I have known Ed 27 years.he was a wonderful friend. He was always trying to take care of me. If I didn't have time for lunch at work he would always walk down to the Smoothie King and put a smoothie on my backbar. If I didn't have enough appointments on my books he would hustle them up for me. He taught me to do a better taper haircut. He never failed to ask about my kids. Ed really cared about family, he would always share stories about his.i loved coming in the door on Wednesday mornings because he usually looked like he was up to no good. I will really miss his jokes and his big grin. Jennifer Short JENNIFER ELAINE SHORT, FEBRUARY 21, 2010 I worked with his sons David and Eric at NTC. I just wanted to say my thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of need. Kimberly Slater klslater0817@yahoo.com KIMBERLY STEEL - SLATER, FEBRUARY 21, 2010
Edmund was a wonderful person. We will always remember him coming to Lamesa, calling us saying, "lets get together". FELIX & LUPE LOPEZ, FEBRUARY 21, 2010 Ed was my barber for most of those 34 years, but most of all he was my friend. We shared so many stories and laughs. I knew I would look my best after a haircut from Ed. I will miss him and think of him each time I pass the Groom Room. JAMES M. GERON, FEBRUARY 21, 2010 I have known Ed and his family for over 25 years and he was like a surrogate father to me. He treated me like a son instead of one of his son's friends and showed me nothing but respect and kindness. He will be greatly misssed and he will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace. JEFF BURMEISTER, FEBRUARY 20, 2010 There are no words that can sooth your pain, but please know that I am deeply sorry for your loss. Ed was a good man who loved his family deeply and he will be missed very much. May God help you and your family through this difficult time. SHEILA A LONG, FEBRUARY 20, 2010 I worked with Ed for 21 years. He was someone you could always depend on. We opened the shop every morning together. I will miss him very much. I know he loved his family so much. He always told me when we would leave" We are lucky we both have great families to go home to!" I will always think about him when I leave work and that I am lucky I have a great family like Ed to go home to. You're family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
