Hey Ed, gonna miss you man, gonna miss having you on the other end of the walkie talkie. I remember when I first met you. You remember when we played tennis with the signs, or when you played it as a guitar, that was funny. I remember when I got the call from Pam, I couldn't believe it, I still don't believe. Every time I'm flagging and see someone on a bike, I think of you, till we meet again my friend.

Ed was a kind and gentle man. He was generous with his time and attention, was a good listener, and a treasured friend. We are all still in shock at this loss, but if we can look past the pain, to the gift that was Ed, then the memories don't sting.. rather they comfort and make us smile. Those are things Ed would have wanted for all of us.
