I was saddened to hear of Ed's passing. I met Ed in 1967 in Stutgart West Germany. We were in the same MP company. I was immediately impressed by his bearing. I found him to be intelligent, sincere, smart, with a good sense of humor, and just an all-around decent man. He was instrumental in my career choice as a high school teacher as he encouraged me to go to college. I'm sorry we didn't stay in touch. May God,s peace and grace be upon his family.

A gentle man and a gentleman!! He was absolutley brilliant and accomplished in every way. No one could hold a light to his intelligence or show more compassion for human kind than Ed. All of his years working in the projects of Chicago, he made friends and people trusted him. He gave them money from his pocket, bought them food and helped wherever he could. He had a huge heart and will never be forgotten by all of us whose lives were touched by him. He was generous, loving, kind, understanding, slow to anger and always there when you needed a friend to talk to. Rest in peace my dear, long time friend. I will miss you as I never imagined you would not be here. Gone but never forgotten.

Ed was a one of a kind friend. He had an IQ off the charts. He had expertise in many areas. His knowledge of jazz and country/ folk music was unparalleled. Not only did read thousands of books, he could also write beautiful prose and poetry.
I will miss my long time friend dearly. Raise a glass.......
