Remembering Ed Shannon

More than 600 people are expected to attend the memorial service for Whittier oilman and philanthropist Edfred L. Shannon at 11 a.m. Saturday (Oct. 18) at the SkyRose Chapel at Rose Hills Memorial Park, 3888 Workman Mill Road.

Ed died Sept. 21 at the age of 82 with his wife, Ruth, and granddaughter at his side.

Because Ed was so well known, the overflow crowd may bring the likes of former Secretary of State Henry Kissenger and high-level oil executives from the Middle East.

A reception is planned after the service at Friendly Hills Country Club, 8500 S. Villaverde Drive in Whittier

See you there.
