I will miss you buddy!! You were a great friend.. Always looked forward to meeting up with you at Bonneville salt flats and talking about the changes you've made with your bike. I miss chatting with you on the phone to catch up on how things have been going and what plans you wanted to do for racing. God speed on your new adventure and may you ride in the heavens as fast as your wings will take you.

Marie and family,
So sorry to hear that Eddie passed. It was fun working with Eddie and hearing his stories
about camping, motorcycles and driving
"old brown". I will never forget Eddie and
I singing our "rap" song at the new years
eve party.
My thought and prayers are with you.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Sorry for your loss. I worked with Eddie in 1959 and 60. He was a great guy. You and your family will be in my thoughts.

Marie and family,
We are so sad over Eddie's passing. For the last several years (almost weekly), we have had so much fun listening to so so many stories, giving him a bad time, cheering him on when he goes to the salt flats, etc. We are really going to miss him and his purple bug pulling up out front, not to mention getting to know Keiko and watching her grow up from puppyhood.
God bless you and comfort you during this difficult time. You are in our prayers.

Marie & family,
My condolences to you all.
Ed was my first Forestry Foreman' back in 1968 at Skylonda Forest Fire Station, in the old San Mateo Ranger Unit.
Ed was definitely a unique' individual.
One of the old stories I heard later at Corralitos FFS regarded his slipping through the cracks' taking and passing the written Forestry Foreman 1 (now Captains) test, when he was a 17 or 18 year old seasonal FF. But, he didn't quite make it through the oral.
