"My brother, Karl Krattinger, and Edwin were great friends for many years. I have many memories of them together, always laughing and having a good time. Sadly, shortly after learning of Edwin's passing, I found that he was trying to reach Karl through me on Facebook. Karl lives out of the country now and I know he will miss Edwin deeply. Our heartfelt condolences to his family. He was a good guy and a good friend to my brother."
