Ed was a good man who shared his good fortune with causes he valued. Since his passing, I often think about how he contributed to important things in my own field, of applied behavior science, when he consistently funded the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies, or helped to launch Headsprout Early Reading. He was generous, wise, and compassionate. And, of course, he had that unforgettably resonant voice!

My heart is sad but it is because I did not take the time to search for him earlier. I wanted to thank him for changing my life in ways he could not have imagined. His family should know that if you need to measure the value of his existence, you should start with his help in pointing me in the right direction toward a life full of wonder and magic. He inspired me to seek a higher level of life awareness while promoting a quiet wisdom through knowedge.

Ed Anderson was deeply interested in other people and full of spirit for his own very good arguments and ideas. He was an independent thinker who cared greatly about others. And he was a lot of fun to be with. I miss Ed.

Ed was one of the first people I consulted when switching into the investment world, and it was his suggestion I check out Mutual Shares. I'm grateful he did. Twenty years later we caught up at the Stage Deli, and he was as spry and direct as always. Thanks, Ed, and rest in peace.

Behavior analysis has lost a wonderful friend and a marvelous colleague. Some students who come to behavior analysis find it easy; others struggle with it. It was our great good fortune that Ed was one of the former. He impressed me even in my earliest encounters with him at CCBS and ABAI. In a description that these days seems out of vogue, he was truly a gentleman and a scholar. We will all miss him.

A truly generous and caring man, Ed's contributions were astounding, not only his formal contributions but also the many, many connections that he facilitated between people whom he thought could do one another and the world some good. I will always remember him for his resonant deep voice, his friendly smile, and well-considered comments and questions concerning whatever was being discussed at the moment.

His enormous contributions to behavior analysis, the Cambridge Center, and the preservation of our behavioral heritage will be sorely missed. I hope we can all carry on his commitment. He will be sorely missed.

This is a stunning and terrible loss to behavior analysis. His enormous energy, creativity, and dedication seemed timeless; it is difficult to imagine his absence. My condolences to his family.

As a mentor, Ed passed to me is financial wisdom; as a friend, he taught me what is truly important in life and how to make the best of the time we have on earth; in his death, he showed me the beauty of leaving this world with "no regrets." He will be with me forever. Thank you for everything Ed. I loved you dearly--as did many.

Having gone to college with both David and Steve, I had the pleasure of knowing Ed personally for the past 25 years. Over many long nights, no topic was considered too esoteric, from conservation biology to close-up magic, and everything in between. Ed was a magnificent man, and a formative influence on my life - a true example of how intellectual curiosity shapes our life, no matter what profession we choose. A true renaissance man. He will be greatly missed.
