Bill Edgemon died in the evening of Dec 16th 2004 of a heart attack, most likely brought on my a blood clot (he suffered from phlebitis most of his life and took blood thinning medications, had recently been under alot of stress with the inurnment of Betty in the Idaho Veterans Cemetary on Dec 10th 2004, and it was their anniversary the nite he died) My mother Betty Jane Theresa Tanner had died Aug 27th 2004. She had a couple of massive strokes and died over a period of days. It was emotionally painful for all those who loved her. It broke his heart.
He had made a valiant effort to go with his life without her constant presence in his life, bowling, walking, visiting family .. his grand-daughter Shannon Marie Spencer at her work abt twice a week to "get his glasses adjusted", planning a hockey game trip with his grand-daughters Alyssa & Rachel Martin and my brother Richard in the near future, and he was heading out to Mississippi for the Christmas Holidays to my sister Pam & Brian Bruner's home, and to visit with his grand-children Beth Bruner and her child, Wes & Dani Bruner and theirs. Grandpa Claw never made it.
His own children had cut ties with him and all of us "Martin Kids" had simply "adopted" him over the years because of his wonderful treatment of our mother, as well as the fact that he was just a great guy. He had only recently gotten to know his grandson from his son Jeff. That grandson was given the flag at the Military Flag Folding Ceremony at the Idaho Veterans Cemetary in Boise, Idaho after Bill's Memorial Service. His son Jeff had made an attempt at contact after Betty's death.
I have some of the family info for Bill, if anyone is interested. His mother is still living in Boise, Idaho. He visited her faithfully every week.
