Edward Byron Garner

I had the great fortune to meet and work with Ed in the mid 90´s that included traveling to Japan to work on a complex project involving Japanese real estate moguls. I was totally unprepared for the experience. Ed was my guide, my inspiration and about the best traveling companion one could have in those circumstances. On our last day of a 10 day trip in Tokyo Ed got a call at the hotel. He put down the receiver and asked me if I wanted to see The Rolling Stones that night. They were on tour and their road manager was an old buddy of Ed´s from The Beach Boys days. I had to decide whether to go home to be with my wife and four kids or stay and have the time of my life. I went home. It is only now, 2 years after his passing that I am reading the news that Ed is gone. RIP my friend. Kelly, if you read this please let me know.Jonathan Plotkin. @spontoonist

Great memories of fabulous times with a wonderful friend.

I had the opportunity and pleasure of working with Ed at the Head of the Wolf in Santa Barbara. We worked together on a mission to open a second Wolf location at the Howard Manor Hotel in Palm Springs. We shared a sense of humor. Great Guy. Wise Man. I'll never forget him.

I went to the movies at the age of 12 to watch Ed with all the Beach Gang. I went to all of Ed's movies. It brought joy to a childhood with little.

Depuis la France ( Val d' Oise ) je partage la peine des proches du disparu , notamment son épouse et sa nièce . j'ai apprécié tous ses films et je souhaitais lui rendre hommage .Bien sincèrement

Beach Party Shot

Oh my, I have so many fond memories of Ed as we worked in many AIP Beach Party movies. My husband was tragically killed in an airplane accident at Windansea Beach in La Jolla, while I was in Hong Kong working in a film. After the funeral services, Ed invited me to stay at his canyon house in Beverly Hills, until I got my footing. We were still working in the Beach Party films. His generosity allowed me to gain by my footing and move into the future. I remember his wonderful sense of humor and his dry wit. I am so sorry, and wish his family all the best.

I grew up with the beach movies and Ed Garner was my favorite member of the 'beach party gang'. I'd drag my Mom to see those movies and she'd buy me clothes that were the same as Ed Garner's and Johnny Fain's.
