Ed Baker's daughter
« on: February 06 2019, 08:04:26 PM »
Lost her battle with cancer today.  Ed has been away from the car business for several years taking care of her and his granddaughter. 

I have not talked to Ed since the fall when it told me that it did not look good, but, he is one of my closest friends in the car business.  He is a real car guy that has always helped everyone that he could. I don't understand why such bad things happen to the best of people.

My heart goes out to him, his granddaughter, and the rest of his family.

No parent should outlive their children.  I can't imagine this.  I can only hope that smile comes to his heart when a pleasant memory comes to mind.

I spoke with Ed this morning. He is making the best of the situation.  He now has custody of his granddaughter who will be 9 in the near future.  He has been taking care of them both for sometime.

Knowing Ed, his granddaughter will be a future leader as he has been raising her to be another Ed :)  She could not possibly be in better hands.
