Ed. You were a friend, father figure, mentor, and confidant; a grandpa to my son Jesse and daughter Eve. You filled a void that work-enforced exile imposed upon my Kenyan family. Your home became our home. You taught me the true meaning of compassion, dedication, and a commitment to life, family, knowledge, and the wellbeing of mother earth--the universe. With you by my side, I felt complete. I miss you so much. Chap
