Ed was my partner for a time in San Francisco. He had a big heart and was always great to be around. He'll be missed by a world that needs more guys like him. Chris Warner

Ed was a bestest friend, even if he did call me a garage troll (from my days at DEA). We had many long conversations about life, family, and most of all, obscure horror films!! Ed seemed to know all of them and we recalled watching these pearls on Creature Features with Bob Wilkins (way before NetFlix).. Farewell good buddy!
