Edward Wilson "Ed" Rock

I am so sorry to see Ed has passed, he was a wonderful man! My condolences to the family.

So sorry to hear of Ed Rock's passing. He was a mentor to me and so many other fair managers throughout America--a "giant" in our business.
I appreciated our conversations either at the IAFE convention and meetings or on the phone with him getting ideas about fair management and fair improvement ideas. I always enjoyed my visits to the State Fair of West Virginia. He had a fabulous way of dealing with people and his "quiet" leadership was special. My life is richer for knowing Ed. My condolences to Sue and his family. The world needs more Ed Rocks!
With much sadness,
