Edward FAIRBANKS

My sympathies to the entire Fairbanks family

Being newer to the area and local GIS community, it did not take long before I knew of Fred. I wish I could have had more time to get to know him. He will be missed by many, but will not be forgotten as the value of his contribution to the community will endure.

Sending my deepest condolences to Ed's loved ones. He was a fantastic person and a joy to work with, so kind, funny, and genuine. He'll be missed.

Ed was a great guy who cared about his coworkers. Being a Union Shop steward he was involved in making sure we all got a fair shake when it came to the work place. Not once in the many years of working with Ed did he not have a smile on his face when I saw him walking around. He was a positive influence where ever he went. He will be greatly missed. It was truly an honor to get to know Ed. I will miss you and your smile.

So sad to hear about this. Really enjoyed getting to know Ed on the Ultimate field, such a great guy.

A genuine, loving, caring person. A true Angel on earth. I'm blessed to have called you friend.

Ed was a great resource for many of us professionally, generous with his knowledge and smile. I am grateful to have called him friend. RIP Ed

Ed was an amazing source of positive counsel and support. He was a giant in the GIS and IT community and is deeply missed.

Ed was a great guy. Easily the most dashing counselor too. He will be missed.
