Met him a few times at a mutual friend's house. Always a great man to talk to and will miss the sage advice about his boat and the modifications he made to it (we have the same boat). Fair winds my friend, you will be missed.

Ed was a voice of reason for me, a budding sailor, and a guidance mentor in the too short time we were acquainted. His input in the online sailing community will be missed, and his experience and interest in his many hobbies combined with his zest for life made him a mentor that was quite rare.
Good travels, Ed. May the winds fill your sails, the wind ever be off the port quarter, and the sun soft on your back.

A man of quiet grace, a special presence wherever he walked, rode or sailed. I had the honor of following that wheel for over 35 years. There will be a gap in paceline now, and I can hear Ed saying Close it up, close it up. Godspeed.

Encouraging. Devoted time to others.
Team Shirack to SCBC to Senior Olympics, it was a blessing and honor to be in Coach Schenck's presence.

"Keep pedaling and feather your brakes to adjust speed in the pace line."
"Move one hand near your stem before reaching for water."
"Keep your legs spinning on the downhills."
"Five dollar prime ("preem") for the green CAIRO sign."
