I’d like to express my condolences to the entire Reasor family. As Ed’s Pennsylvania dentist I always looked forward to our annual spring visits. Ed always brought with him a great smile and a few stories to share with us. All of my staff enjoyed chatting with Ed. His enthusiasm was contagious. I remember well the newspaper clippings of comics or advertisements that Ed would see in the paper in Hawaii and mail to us for no other reason that he found it funny and wanted to share a little happiness.
Most sincerely,
Paul Boger
DearLiliane,
Sorry for the above error. I don’t know if you remember me but I am Ululani Collins
daughter. Ashley and Sterling went to Kahala Elementary together. Ashley and I both send our condolences to you, Sterling and the rest of the family.
Didn’t see much of Ed when he was in Hawaii but I do remember that time when Tutu made him breadfruit her way and he ate the whole thing. I give him credit for that. He seemed one to try different things.
Aloha,
Pat and Ashley Goldstein
I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Ed was my first boss when I was a legal secretary in Alaska. He worked for the firm of Kalamarides and Reasor, but took me with him when he opened his own firm. I enjoyed the time I spent working there, and have always remembered him for helping me get a start in the legal field. I am sure he will be greatly missed.
Dear Reasor family, please accept our sincere sympathy. May you look forward to the time when the Bible says that “(God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will morning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:4). I hope that this promise and loving memories bring you comfort.
Dear Lil…I was looking for Ed….just today.. and discovered he had passed. His personally vital and joyful presence will not be filled again on this planet. I was looking for you guys to let you know that a reputable production group has just picked up one of my story’s and its screenplay and I want to tell them about Chinese Letters. I didn’t want to move forward with it until I had spoken to Ed, ad to include him in the credits and earnings should there be any. Please let me know how you would like me to proceed. Resa wants me to extend an Aloha greeting and her condolences to you and the family. We are the worse for having lost track of you. … Gods Wonderful Blessings…Ron and Resa
I was blessed to meet Ed at Holy Family Cathedral in Anchorage when I was teaching an adult Ed class on the Book of job. Ed was a good hearted friend and strong in his Catholic faith – sad he passed too soon – condolences to Lillian
