Linn, Edward James age 76, passed away peacefully on July 12, 2018 surrounded by his loving family. Ed is survived by his wife of 54 years, JoAnne, his four children Ted, Kathleen (Bob) Peterson, Thomas, and James (Jessica) along with grandchildren Joseph Peterson, Alyssa (Blake) Webster, Henry Linn, Sydney, Eddie, and Josie Linn and great granddaughter, Adalynn Webster. Ed was a loving husband, father, grand-father, great grandfather, and a wonderful friend to many. Ed was an alumni of St. Thomas Academy and the University of St. Thomas. His 51-year career in finance included Meryl Lynch, Shearson Lehman Bros., Summit Investments, and Dougherty Financial. Ed was an avid and talented outdoors man who shared his love of the outdoors with his family and friends. He had a passion for teaching and mentoring others and always encouraged them "to do your best!" When asked by a new hunter, "Should I shoot at the lake?" Ed responded, "Anyone can hit the lake; shoot the duck!" We are grateful for the loving care Ed and our family received from the doctors and the ICU team at Methodist Hospital. A gathering of family and friends will be held to celebrate Ed's Irish Goodbye.
