From years ago, my first memory of Ed, ‘Mr. Flood’, was with the T.C. Roberson band. He was always there, helping in any way necessary. He was always smiling and joking around with everyone. We have had the pleasure to get to know him even more in the last few years. I will always see him sitting around the fire, on the wagon train, laughing hysterically. He will be missed greatly, but loved infinately. Pat,Sharon,Tracey,Billy,and families,you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in God’s arms and let Him comfort you in this most difficult of times. We love you…
James and Stephanie(Lance)Haynie
Dear Pat, I just heard about your dear sweet ‘Ed’. What a good man he was. He always laughed at my stupid jokes. He will be greatly missed. My thougts and prayers are with you and the family.

Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you. What a great loss to you all. Have faith in knowing your Daddy (and Pappaw) is there looking out for you and loving you from up above. Our love, The Wilson Family
To the family of Edward Flood I offer my condolences at this very difficult time. I have worked with Mr. Flood for the past five years and am proud for the experience. He was a true gentleman and friend. Ed will leave a hole in our hearts, but I’m grateful for the short time spent working together. He will be truly missed.
Ed, in the few short years I have known you I came to respect you just as much if not more than my own father. I have seen first hand the lives you have touched, especially those of your own family. I am going to miss our chats about Clemson and Tennessee!! Pat, Sharon, Tracy, and Billy- I know you all are grieving the loss of your wonderful husband, father, and friend and no one has answers. Be comforted in the fact that you will see him again, stay strong, keep pushing forward and making memories to share with him one day soon.
I love all of you greatly.
Niki
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I am sorry for your loss. Ed was truly one of the nicest people I have known. It has been many years since we have seen each other but I still remember our working together at Schwitzer. He will be truly missed.
Words cannot express how I am feeling for ya’ll right now. I am so sorry for your loss and cannot begin to understand. I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason, although right now we cannot quite justify what that reason is. I am so sorry I am not able to be with ya’ll. You were all like a second family to me and Dustin when we lived in Arden, and we think of you often. Mr. Flood will be greatly missed by all and forever remembered. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
ED, I WILL MISS YOUR SMILING FACE. YOU ALWAYS BRIGHTENED THE DAY WHEN YOU CAME TO THE OFFICE!
PAT,I’M SO GLAD YOU TWO WERE DANCING! THAT IS WHAT I THINK OF WHEN I THINK OF YOU AND ED. JUST REMEMBER, ED IS NOT YOUR PAST. LOOK FORWARD TO THE FUTURE WHEN YOU WILL BE DANCING TOGETHER AGAIN ON STREETS OF GOLD!! MY HEART IS WITH YOU. ALL MY LOVE, BEVERLEY
