Ed Laxton was a maverick man and unique personality, a beat generation type that preceded mine, but we thought alike and enjoyed his vivid recall of past times. I admired and will miss our conversations and his wit and creativity. RBD
My heartfelt condolences to family and friends of Ed Laxton. With his photographs and stories he shared history that many would have never known. He will be greatly missed by many. Rest in peace.
I was Milton’s dental hygienist. Always looked forward to seeing him. Such a nice man, he will be missed. Much love to his family and friends.
I was Mr Laxton’s mail lady for 4-5 years before retiring from the Postal Service. He was such and kind and gentle man and I very much enjoyed our conversations and seeing him smile whenever he saw me. So sorry to hear of his passing. A truly lovely man.
