Edward N. Jordan, who founded Jordan Appliances in Pacific Palisades in 1947, passed away on July 8 at his home in Lacey, Washington, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was 98. Edward was born in March of 1908 in Bickleton, Washington to Henry W. Jordan and Elizabeth (White) Jordan. He married Alice Bassett in June of 1941 in Pullman, Washington. They shared a lifelong love of golf. Their first child, Janet, was born in 1943, followed by sons Ross in 1945 and Richard in 1949. After living in the Palisades for many years, Edward and Alice returned to Washington in 1986. Their son Ross continues to operate Jordan Appliances, now the fourth oldest surviving business in town. Edward Jordan enjoyed fishing, panning for gold, picking huckleberries and blackberries, and taking long walks. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, three children, and three grandchildren. There will be no funeral or memorial service, but donations may be made in his memory to Providence Sound-HomeCare and Hospice.
