I have many happy memories of hours spent with Ed debating the finer points of rules, judging, families, and life in general. I truly gained much from my friendship with him through the years when he was such a driver of pattern at Lubbock. All those days in the sun at Reese when he worked tirelessly to make the events enjoyable for all.

Ed was a fine example of the hobbyist and pattern purist; he enjoyed the pursuit of perfection.

Please communicate my condolences to his family at their loss.

We have lost a flier and friend. He will be missed by many in many states.
