Ed was one of the big reasons for making the library a place where our students and faculty could depend on finding the right answers and be treated with fairness and respect. RIP.

Our library will never be the same without Ed. He was dependable, knowledgeable, and had a real knack for customer service. He helped countless students feel welcome, and went the extra mile to answer their questions. He was sure of himself and always treated people with respect. Sending prayers to his family.

Ed is very missed in the library. He was such a reassuring presence, no non-sense, and kind.
He had a way of making people feel seen. It won't be the same without him. His family are in my prayers. Thank you for sharing him with us!

To his family and his dog Riley. Ed loved his family, grandsons and his dog. He lit up when he talked about them. He was great to work with and helped so many people with their computer and/or phone. Students called him "Big Ed" with a smile. He will be greatly missed. Gone too soon
