My deepest sympathy to the Wright Family. Ed was a wonderful person and did a great job on my hair. Rest in Peace Ed. May God Bless and comfort his family.

Mr. Ed,

You were such a kind and genuine man. My sister and I were just thinking about how you used to do our hair when we were children and although the hairstyles were so cute, we would often be in the shop all day lol. But we didn't mind because you always had some good old school music playing and there were lots of laughs. You were our family and I'm thankful that we have such fond memories to share.

Rest well Mr. Ed!

Love, Alexandria (Alex) Scott & Family
