Former Westminster employee, Ed Stitely passed away July 3, 2015

I really enjoyed working with Ed at the city. He was conscientious and friendly… He was old-school, hard-working, always willing to help and cared about his job and the other employees and the citizens for whom he worked.

Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but are always near. Still loved, still missed and very dear. Remember he is always with you.

May memories of happy times sustain his family. May God's love embrace his family and bring them peace. Healing graces for his family, friends and colleagues. We keep Ed and his family in our hearts and prayers.  

So sorry for your loss.

Kevin E. Dayhoff, Mayor of Westminster, 2001-2005
