I don't know how long it had been since we'd been in touch, but I still felt the profound absence when I heard you were gone, and still do today. You were a special guy and a kindred spirit. I wish we had stayed in touch.

Eddie, I think about you often and 10 years seems an eternity. I believe our daughters are about the same age and it make me so sad that she didn't get to know what a wonderful person you were. I pray for you often Eddie. God bless you and your family. I smile when I remember the great times together in High School and College. I am grateful that Murph is keeping this site alive. Peace, Brother.

I never knew Eddie in person, nor him me, but we knew of one another and I oddly think of him rather often wishing I had had the privilege and honor to have met him. I am told we would have "fit" well together sharing our loves and interests. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to read what others have shared, as it makes me feel like I know him a little better.

Edward and Katherine were gracious enough to invite me into their home, even though they only knew me from the forums. Edward inspired me in so many ways, first to get my Redemptor Company finished, and to proceed on with the goal of the entire chapter. Later, he inspired me into the dream of building my own suit of Space Marine armor. She's finished Edward. 10 years later, and 2 years too late, but I know you can see it from where you're at. Thank you my friend. Lord Isaiah, Redemptor Chapter Master

Edward was a one of a kind guy, always took the time to reply to messages and offer help and advice to anyone who asked. He will be sorely missed, my thoughts go out to his friends and family in this hard time.

I never met Edward personally, I only encountered him recently via his work on the Space Wolves Forums. But seeing his passion for taking his hobby above and beyond what most people do was inspiring. I can only imagine that he was the same in all aspects of his life.
He is one of the greats, who will be sorely missed.

I knew Eddie well in High School and College. Unfortunately we grew apart, and I had not seen him in over a decade… Growing up in CS, his family always welcomed me, and his other friends into their home, and treated us as true friends. I have often thought of the crazy things we did, and the fun we had, just being teenagers. I still remember him introducing me to “Battletech”, starting me off with a mech, then promptly blowing my head off. We had many late nights with movie marathons, getting into mischief (like toilet-papering some unsuspecting classmate’s house), with other friends—you guys know who you are. I still laugh my head off thinking about our high school English class Shakespeare project—we did “Mr. Bill does Hamlet” (for those of you who don’t know, that was a play-doh guy from SNL). We spent a crash weekend building playdoh figures, making cardboard sets, and running a video camera. We got the only 100% grade in the whole school, as I remember… I wish the best for his wife and daughter, parents, and sister. I would like to thank a mutual friend—Hugh M.--for letting me know of Eddie’s passing. ""Remember, no matter where you go-there you are"" BB

"My condolences to Katherine and the rest of Ed's family at this sad time. I only knew him through the online Warhammer 40k sites, but his legendary dedication to and enthusiasm for his beloved Blood Angels, along with his helpfulness in general to other gamers will long be remembered by the 40k fraternity.
We salute our friend Blood Angel Brother Edward with the battlecry of the Blood Angels Chapter:
"By the blood of Sanguinius!"

I "knew" Ed via the many online forums that he actively participated in for nigh on 10 years. I was shocked to have learned of his passing and offer my sincere condolences to Katherine and his family. He was an inspiration to many Warhammer gamers around the globe, including myself. Rest in Peace Ed.

Edward, we had known each other for a long time via our mutual hobby, in fact, ever since I started in the hobby way back in the mists of my memory. I will always regards you as a good friend, always with many kind and generous things to say, as well as an over-reaching enthusiasm for all your projects both in and out of the hobby.
I will miss your calling me "an old wolf" whenever we passed the time of day!
You will be sorely missed my friend.
My condolences to your family and friends at this tragic time.
You will live on in our memories for ever.

I never got the honor of meeting Ed in person, but knew him from a shared internet forum. He was always a great member who was quick to help or compliment, and never had a harsh word for anyone. To his family, I don't know if you were aware of the esteem Ed was held in by fellow hobbyists worldwide. His loss will be mourned by people all over the globe. All I can say is that I will pray for you all and thank you for sharing a wonderful man with the rest of us. God Bless.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Ed but chatted with him over the course of many years online. He was a kind, honorable man. He will be sorely missed as there are too few like him in this world. God bless and keep he and his family. May the kindness, respect and generosity he brought into this world never be forgotten and may it continue on in those of us who knew him. I will miss you Brother Edward.

Mr. Wickes was great to work for. He was always kind, soft spoken, and gentle. He was so sweet during the holidays, buying balloons and candy for valentines for his family and loved shopping for his daughter. Keep these memories of him and they will comfort you.
