Ed was a great guy with a lot of knowledge of our country and nearby locations. I was amazed at when you talked about going somewhere that Ed had already been there. He was so knowledgeable that we were always amazed at where he was and what he did. We truly miss having conversations with him and know our other friends miss him also. Rest in peace Ed, you are missed by many.

The entire Elster family was extremely sad to hear of Ed's passing. He was a good man who touched us all. We will never forget Ed and all that he did for us. God bless.

Dear Dar and family,
We cannot express our shock at the death of Ed. We will miss those interesting conversations that we had with him. And especially the loss of his vast knowledge on many diverse and intersting topics. Our prayers are with you and the family in this most difficult time.
