In Memory of...
Ed Markosky
January 20, 2009
Ed was a long time West Michigan Blues Society Board Member. He was a very active and strong supporter of the Blues scene. The last couple years he started to slow down on activity, but not on his support. He was a blues fan through and through.
Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers
We will miss ED very much!
