I remember Ed's warm and genuine welcome when I joined the cycling club. Being new to cycling, Ed always offered me sound advice and help on the road. He will be missed.

Ed always had a nice thing to say and a ready smile no matter what the circumstances. He was first in line to volunteer to help any one, any time, any where. What a wonderful man. He will be greatly missed by so many.
