Edward Atkinson Obituary
Ed was able to make peace with dying at the end, which gave his family great peace as well. He appreciated the local Parkinson's support group, and the medical team at Mercy Medical Center and Axis Health to smooth the way of this difficult disease.
Ed is survived by his loving family: his spouse of 37 years, Susan, his sons Christian, John Geoffrey, and Michael, and two grandchildren.

I'm sure we've never met, Susan, but my all-too-brief friendship with Ed had a profound effect on me. I was lucky enough to be his colleague along with Craig C in a couple of gigs in Canada. I've never laughed and cried so hard in my life.

Ed, made a positive difference to me and many others. His ability to add the hard truth, along with sincere care and compassion could stop an entire room. He was a good man with a good heart. Thanks Rich
