Condolences

Condolence From: Roberto" Rey" Martinez
Condolence: Dear Lage Family: I am most sorry to hear about your loss. My buddy and I were planning a trip to Hood River at the end of July. One of our stops was to locate Mr. Lage. Back when we were teenagers-early 1970's-we left Northern California in search of a summer job in Oregon. After many futile attempts and led by the hand of God, we landed at your cold storage facility and Mr. Lage was kind enough to give us a job and even a place to stay. We could not have asked for a better employer. It went so well we came back the next year also. We sincerely appreciated that Mr. Lage took a chance on two unknown young lads. The world is lost a bright light with his passing. Rey

Condolence: Joan, Danny, Heidi and Lee: Eddie was really an integral part of my childhood and that of all of us Pine Grove kids. What a guy! Even when I saw him at the auction a few years ago after 30 years or so, he knew me right away and greeted me with that awesome smile of his that we've all come to know and love. I am so sorry for your loss - there is definitely a hole in the world where he once was. I hope happy memories of an amazing guy helps you smile. I think he would like that.

Condolence From: Don Clark
Condolence: Eddie's passing brings me great sorrow, it also brings me to pause and remember Eddie as he would want...a person more dedicated than Eddie could never be found; dedicated to his family his farm, his fire department, his friends and his community. My friendship and association with him extended from our days as students of vocational agriculture under "Pop" Bowman in 1951 to my retirement in 2000 and beyond. When Jo and I moved from the Valley in 2002, Eddie always stayed in touch and we lunched together many times as we caught up on the "happenings" of the Valley in the years before his health prohibited. We send our sympathy to Joan, Leland, Heidi, Danny and to his mother Althea, his sister Betty and to Kent and his "boys" and all his extended family. We will miss him, greatly. Affectionately, Don and Jo Clark Scottsdale, Arizona
