I just heard about this... I'm so sorry Dalia. He was one of my favorite people ever. We had awesome parties and lots of fun when we deployed and worked together. He will be dearly missed. Even though I hadn't been able to work with him again, knowing that he is gone makes the world a sadder place. RIP Ed.
