My heartfelt condolences are sent to Ed's family. I am so sad to see this news. It was a pleasure working with him at WFLA & enjoying his amazing, uplifting, unique, creative & inspiring daily photos. I looked forward to seeing what he'd capture every day. God Bless you all. Oh the images he'll be capturing above....

Ed and I were neighbors and co-workers at WSFA-TV back in the late sixties. We played Rook with our wives every Friday night til one an two in the morning. He got two job offers in the summer of '69 and decided to take the offer with Yeoman Amerson Advertising in Montgomery. The other position was at Farm Bureau in Montgomery and I eventually took that job. It lead to a 30 year career for me thanks to Ed. Unfortunately, Y & O Adv. fell apart and Ed moved to Mobile and joined WKRG. I only saw Ed once after that, at a NBC new season premiere meeting in Denver. We had a great time renewing our friendship for that three days. We were Facebook friends so kept up with each other and I got so much pleasure from his outstanding photography. What a heart breaking shock when I found out he passed away. I'm sure he is taking some wonderful photographs in heaven.

Trey, My deepest sympathies to you and your family, Steve, and your mother, Faye. It's always a shock when we lose a parent regardless of their health. Time doesn't make it good, but does make it better. God Bless, Mary & Joe Yorski

End you gave me something to look forward to every single day by posting your OutStanding photos on Facebook! I wish I could have told you how much you mean to so many people. I will be looking for you Ed in every day glimpse I catch of a bird or a beautiful flower. Thank you my friend for making life better even on my worst day. I miss you...

I was so terribly saddened to hear of Ed's passing. Our families were neighbors growing up and I have many happy memories of Ed and his parents. I lost touch with Ed and his mother over the years but reconnected in the last several years. I follow Ed's photography on Facebook and am just awed at his works. I will miss that so much. He was so very talented. My prayers will be for his dear mother and all his family.

Ed hired me fresh out of Spring Hill College to work as his Promotion Assistant at WKRG-TV in Mobile, AL back in 1977. He was so kind, and patient and taught me a lot about the television industry. Ed was SUCH a creative talent and so highly regarded by all of us who worked with him. My condolences to his family. May his memory be eternal...Rest in peace, Whatley.

Edwin was a distant cousin of mine. We were born a month apart and went through school together from grammar school to high school. We played baseball together in our Little League days. Edwin was the most talented artist I have ever seen and obviously used that talent as a photographer later. I haven't seen him in a number of years, but am truly saddened at his death. He has a wonderfully sweet mother and sister. My prayers are with the family for God's comfort in this time of sadness.

Dear Trey and Stevie and family, We are deeply sorry to hear of your father's passing. We hope you can find comfort in knowing he touched so many lives with his beautiful photography and kind words. He especially encouraged me (Molly) to reach for my potential as a photographer. We will treasure his published book he sent us. We love you! Mike and Molly
