Edward David Starkey

Ed and I met late in our careers, I only wish that I had met him earlier. He was low-keyed but passionate, too, about his ideas of a centralized source for Catholic research. He was knowledgeable and able to share his wisdom with colleagues. And he was funny, a great sense of humor that shone in his conversation and his letters. I miss Ed.

Sincere condolences to the family. I worked at USD´s legal research center when Ed was director of the Copley Library. He was always kind and took time to welcome me to the USD fold. I will always remember Ed´s gentle humor and warmth for everyone he met. He was a true gentleman & bore his illness without complaint. Ed was an inspiration to me and so many others.
