To the family of Ed Ginnow: We always enjoyed seeing Ed at the Omro library. When he moved to Winneconne we missed him. In winter he would wear the grey hat that had red and green lights in honor of the season. He was a pleasant and interesting person. Sorry to read of this loss.

I wish to express my condolences to the Ed Ginnow family on your loss. I came to know Ed in the early 1990's as a man of good humor and loyalty. He and my father, Wilbur Witte, shared friendship during their days at Omro High School and again during their employment at Kiekhaefer Mercury Marine. Ed's selfless friendship especially helped Wilbur to enjoy his latter years - for which I will be eternally grateful.

Family of Ed Ginnow, Our sincere sympathies to your family. Ed was a very good and dear friend to our father, Royal Tice and his wife Della. Edward and my Dad grew up together. I recall how my Dad used to say how Ed would have made such a great engineer if he had choose to be, as he really understood what would really work and what would not. Dad talked about the time that Ed worked for Kiekhafer Marine and was involved with the outboards and I believe he was also involved with the racing of the outboards also. He was a great and steady friend to our family and it was a treat to talk with your Dad and hear what he had to say. We have good memories to building an ingloo in your parents yard there in Omro one winter when I was really young and remember it mostly throught photos that were taken when the igloo was just about completed. There are good memories of Ed and your whole family. Bill Tice
