Not sure what to say?

It's been 45 years since I walked onto Aquatic Farms, looking for a job, wondering what a prawn was. And I still apply many of the concepts and ideas Ed taught me about the science of aquaculture. He has, and always will remain in my heart.

Met Ed in the early 1980's at Hawaii and than Indonesia ( I believe his first trip to Indonesia )
Have always believed that he taught me how to make money from Shrimp .... yes Ed was my "Guru"
Rest In Peace

I learned all about Vannamei from Ed and he became a friend. Condolences to Louise and his family

It's never easy to find the "best or "right" words to express to the family after a loss of a loved one. Ed touched so many lives along the way. He meant many different things to many people in the rich life he lived. To me, he was family. It was more so the quality of time spent, not so much the amount of time. I was lucky to be able to travel across the world to visit Ed and Aunt Lou a few times over the years and experience life from a different perspective and learn from such a world...

Ed was a mentor and when he offered me a job at Aquatic Farms in 1983, I jumped at the chance. He spent most of his time overseas during the time I was there but we would get into spirited discussions about the future of shrimp aquaculture when he would drop in to the farm. It was a beautiful setting, as these pictures attest.
I ran into Ed and Andy Kuljis at a WAS meeting in Las Vegas around 2010 or so. We ended up having a nice chat after having not seen each other much in about 25...

I’m sorry to learn of Ed’s passing. My thoughts go out to Lou and their family. Ed brought me out to Aquatic Farms in 1983-85 and briefly to Malaysia in 1985. Both were great experiences. I ran into him and Andy Kuljis at a WAS meeting in Las Vegas around 2010. It was great catching up after about 25 years. He will be missed.
Once again, condolences to his extended family and friends.

I met him during my studies at the university of Miami in 1970 and since those days we were very good friend .
He was One of my favorite person, my advisor and guide in my profesional Life and I will always miss him ! Rest in peace my dear friend.!

Our family's condolences to the entire Scura family. We did not know Edward but he certainly accomplished great things in his lifetime. God bless the whole family.

I had the great privilege to work for a true visionary.
RIP dear Ed.
