I was almost completely offline the last 2 weeks and just found out today that Ed was gone. Ed was one of my closest friends in the community. I tried to call him over the holidays several times, not knowing what had happened.

He was a good friend; generous and kind to a fault. He liked to hide behind this curmudgeon-like personality that in no way reflected the real Ed.

>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.
