>Gentles all,
>
>As you may know, Ed Wilver- Court Baron of Coopers Lake Campground,
>has died. The Coopers and Wilvers, who are related, are people I have
>known for over 25 years. When I heard about Ed's passing, and
>received information about the
>viewing hours, and the funeral, ( which is tomorrow- March 8th) I
>knew I had to go.
>
>I am fortunate in the fact that I live less than 45 minutes from
>Coopers Lake, so I made the trip for viewing hours this evening, as
>attending the funeral tomorrow would not have been possible for me-
>just as neither the viewing nor funeral would be possible for
>thousands of SCA people all over the world to
>attend.
>
>I met with the members of both families, and they were glad to see me
>as well as other SCA members in attendance. Jo Ann Wilver is doing
>well under the circumstances. She asked me to convey a message to the
>SCA in her behalf:
>
>"We love you all"
>"We have always enjoyed your many talents."
>
>Such a statement doesn't surprise me at all. The SCA means a lot to
>the Coopers and Wilvers, and I am very sure that they mean a lot to a
>great number of people who could not be present to say so to them in
>person.

>Ed's work as a sign painter will always be remembered - the signs we
>see at Coopers Lake were all painted by Ed. His work in Boy Scouting
>will also be remembered. He always enjoyed a good joke, shared his
>generosity and good humor with all, and gave to the SCA lasting
>memories and the experiences of a
>lifetime - to his very great honor. May we all be so lucky to have a
>life such as his.
