Tom,

Ed earned every word that has been and will be said of him. Yes, you are certainly right in saying he would not stand for all this hoopla about him being said in life, but in his passing we can all remember him through the things he gave us and his unslefish willingness to share his knowledge and insight with us all.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family in this sad time. Ed's life was not an easy one and I can only hope that he is at peace now.
