Alex,

You had the same thoughts that I had. In a sense, Ed will live on forever, in our brain as well as our heart. We'll remember and honour him each time that we search for a solution to a problem and get a message he wrote, very often a three star message.

>>Ed Rauh, passed away sometime Saturday morning. His body was found by a friend and co-worker. Ed had suffered for a very long time with major illnesses but still kept himself active and involved in the VFP world. He was a person who would go the end of the earth for you, but would also let you know in a heart beat if you were off the mark. Ed will be dearly missed.

>Ed used to post a lot and answer a lot of questions... I just checked his stats and counted 14,072 messages. To us, this is a big part of himself, of his knowledge, and that, along with the papers that he wrote, is the legacy that he left behind.
