Ed worked with and for me at Westell and I have nothing but the best words for him. His intelligence, tenacity and bravery were exemplary and an inspiration. It was an honor to know him.
We'll miss you, Ed.

I worked with Ed at Westell and always admired him. I followed his fight on his blog and admired his strength. I'm very sorry for your loss. He fought a valiant fight.
