Worked and played golf with Ed. My condolences to his family
Ed was one of brightest people I have ever worked for while we were at Xerox. I played many rounds of golf with him. A true gentleman.

Sorry to hear about Ed's passing. I am glad that I had the opportunity to work for such a inspiring man. One who supported his organization under changing business tides.
Once we left Xerox we lost touch but I have only fond memories of him especially when he challanged us to be better. By for now EEK you will be missed.

Ed shared this YouTube video with us back in March entitled "There is a Light":

I think it speaks a truth we can all use. I'm sorry I wasn't closer to him recently but I have only fond memories of many shared experiences along the crisscrossed paths of our lives.
With love and admiration for a man who was full of life, +/Chuck Swedrock
PS: "+/" are characters from the APL (A Programming Language) that occupied a few decades of our time shared together. For me, those characters represent "the sum of all that follows" or a full dedication of myself to the message just given. Thanks, Ed! (It's like a grand slam in bridge... Ed and I became life masters at that past time, too!)

I was very sorry to learn about Ed's passing. Ed was a wonderful source of advice and insights as I began my career so many year ago. He was my good friend and was always an interesting and provocative thinker. Sarah and I wish you our deepest condolences Gail.

Saddened to read of Ed's passing. Worked with him at Xerox and quickly learned when he said something you better listen cause it was most likely right. A pleasure to have know him.
