Connie, It is so hard to believe. The crew in Park City is so sad to hear that Ed passed. It has been eight years since you moved to California. I have missed you both. I will remember all of the great times we had here. Big Hug, Stephen Elrick

What a shock to read about Ed's passing Sunday morning. It brought back memories of great and happy times we shared on the docks and in the harbor. That brought a smile to my face and warm feelings in my heart. Ed was a good man and it was an honor to know him. He will be missed. Connie, my thoughts are with you.

I am so sad for all of us, but most especially Connie at the early passing of Eddie and will hold tight to the memories for comfort. A recent memory of Eddie right before the holidays was witnessing the absolute adoration of Connie when purchasing a necklace to surprise her with for Christmas. The look on his face and that big gleaming smile were priceless & he told me he was such a lucky man. It is so hard to say good-bye to someone who was so full of love...
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.
So He put his arms around you and whispered "come with me."
With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you slip away.
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
Until we meet again, peace & prayers, you will be missed.

Connie, My heart goes out to you! I know that GOD had a much bigger plan for Ed and you will be watched over by our good Lord and Ed. Please find peace in this poem that was recently given to me when my momma passed away:
The Next Room
Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
Much Love,
Jann Huling

Eddy you will be missed. You met Connie through me and I met Jill at your wedding. Even though our paths took different directions later in life, the years we spent as friends in Park City skiing. golfing, drinking and eating at Adolf's and Green Street will remain great memories in my mind forever. . I will hoist a Volka Cooler in your honor this evening and recall all the great times we shared. Then I will hoist another!!

E.D. - You, Connie and myself shared so many, MANY great times and laughter. The late night chats, guitar sessions, afternoons at the Rudder Room (fav picnic bench aka 'Switzerland'), you had a nickname for everyone! I will always remember the 'Summer of Twelfth Night' sailing every Wet Wednesday, opening champagne when we placed 5th (yes, 5th!!) our best finish! Taken too soon, maybe GOD needs sailing lessons or perhaps a bridge built? We'll take care of Connie, just keep watch over us til we meet again. "Love you, mean it" - L.T

I will never forget our sightseeing tours as you shared your vision. I will see you again in heaven with that warm, friendly smile that took you through the life that was cut so short. Lei Eberhardt

I see you in the sparkle that touches the edge of the sea, I see you in the crisp light on the snow. I feel you when the sun warms my cheeks, and when the tides softly flow. You were the rock that held me up, in my youth you were always there. Your strength and your fearlessness were the safe place; without you, what would I have been, or where? Oh Ed, your shining light was so dear to me, you were my first hero. I miss you and love you, so please wait for me, because sometime I need to say thank you.
"I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the sweet uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still in each new dawn"
