Subject: Goodbye Edward

I was very saddened to come home to the news that Edward had passed away
Saturday night.  I consider myself so very lucky to have had the privilege
to have known this wonderful man personally.  I use to go to his home and do
odd jobs here and there to show my appreciation for his kindness to me, my
family and friends over the years.  A kinder, gentler more considerate man
could not be found.  I know it was with reluctance that he admitted people
to get close to him because of his shy nature, but when you were let into
that special circle, you were subject to intelligence, humor, consideration
and honesty that was unrivaled......and will never be.  The world has truly
lost a talented genius, but more so we have lost a very special, loving and
beautiful person. "As much as I was a pin in your backside at times, I will
miss you very much Edward".  

With the utmost admiration and respect,
