I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Blitch. I was at James Island High during those difficult years, and I always found him to be supportive and fair. I was also a baby-sitter for your children a few times. God Bless all of you. Nancy Clayton Lefter

Mrs.Blitch - I had the good fortune to have been a St. Andrews student during your husband's time there. My most notable memory was being 'caught' in the auditorium duing a senior chapel servce I particularly wanted to hear - by your husband who reminded me where I was supposed to be at that time, and called me by name because he had memorized 'all' the student's names. I was allowed to go 'free'with just a warning. He and I laughed about that just this past year when we reintroduced ourselves at the Post Office. He was and will continue to be a great memory.

My deepest sympathy in your loss. I was a teacher at James Island when Mr. Blitch was principal. He was a wonderful man and led us through a very difficult period. I had the greatest respect for him.

Carolyn,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Words can not express my love and respect for all of The Blitch family and especially for its patriarch, Pop! Together you both created such a beautiful family and are perfect examples for all of us of how true love and devotion withstood the test of time. Ed was not only a wonderful husband, and father, he was a wonderful grandfather to my children Spencer, Cam, and Ryan. My prayers and love are with all of you. God Bless

I began birdwatching 28 years ago. Ed is one of the first experts I met. He taught me so much and I am still an avid, passionate birder. I went on to work for Audubon SC as a result of my interest in birds. His integrity as a human was ever-present and his dry humor made him a desirable birding companion. He always spoke with love of his family.
I am so sorry that he had to suffer so much. Despite all the suffering he leaves a remarkable legacy.
My heart and prayers with everyone touched by his death.

Mr. Blitch was part of my life at several times - principal when I was a student at James Island High School, pharmaceutical rep for my department when I was at MUSC, and teacher at BSS (although after my children had completed there). My prayers and condolences to his wife, children, grandchildren, and siblings. Through my time as secretary at BSS, I have had the pleasure of knowing several of you!

Carolyn, Tab, Edwin, Matt and Christy,
Mike, Todd, Elliott and I were so sorry to hear about Ed's recent illness and death. So many years have gone by, but memories flooded back about the time when we were all together on Dogwood Court in North Carolina.
We pray that you have the strength and courage to move through this most difficult of times.
Much love,
Pam

Ed and Marcy, I keep in touch with my old Charleston friends and was very sorry to hear about your Dad. My dad (92)is still around but I expect he will be with the Lord soon. I just cannot imagine your loss at this time but I wish you to know you have my heartfelt thought and prayers. I still have pictures of Emma playing with my dog Abi across the street.
