Dear Claudia and family I am so sad to hear this news. I heard it from Peggy at our volunteers in policing meeting tonite for the first time or I would have surely been at the funeral. Please know that I totally understand the shock and what you are going thru as that is almost identically what happened with my husband. As you need to keep your mind focused on something and not make any important decision for a while… call on me at any hour… I am here to listen and help any way I can. I only met your sweet husband that once 2 yrs. ago at the reunion and he was so nice..but have known you most of my life and hope you will call on me any way I can help. My prayers for God to hold you and your family in his loving arms and give you peace. Parting is sad… but not permanent. In deepest sympathy, Doris Heafner Hodges

Well said Mr. Parker. My heart is heavy today to hear of the passing of this treasure of a man. I was a lucky person to have known him. He was a kind and gentle soul and will be missed dearly by all who knew him. I will always cherish the memories I have of Edwin and how he always called me “darlin”. RIP dear Edwin, you were loved by all!!

While this is certainly a sad time, I will always have a smile on my face when I think of Fat. As the sayings go, they broke the mold when they made him and he was a piece of work. He was so many things: lover of family, friends, golf, the Vols, Cosmopolitans in the winter and Sea Breezes in the summer, expert ball striker, expert ball mover, inventor of words and golf phrases (“Fat’isms” we called them), indoor wearer of Ray Bans, Dirty Bucks Fan Club member, oldest Lindeberg belt owner, record holder of longest club demo from Edwin Watts……he was indeed a Renaissance man…and I will miss him greatly.Mike Caldwell

Even though I only met Mr. Phillipy a few times, he always made me feel like we had known each other for years. He was a wonderful man with a great spirit. My thoughts are with his family. He will be missed.Maury Hanks

Edwin Phillipy was the *quintessential “Gentleman”. He always made you feel ‘especially” special and along with that awesome “Southern accent”, it could make your day just to hear his special voice across the telephone! He has made such a strong and “lasting” impression upon all of us that knew him. Yes, he did have much wisdom to share and it came from a truly caring “heart”. His eyes lit up when he smiled, which we know, was “often”! i was able to have had a last “hug” when he made one of his frequent visits over to Metropolitan Bank just in this last week or so…I am so very thankful to have had that “moment” and those wonderful words with Edwin that special day*. He was his usual “joyous” self that day… We have wonderful memories of such a wonderful fellow…He is alive in “our” *Hearts.
