John;

The loss of a family member, friend or acquaintance is an upsetting event in anyone’s life. About three weeks ago someone on the forum had a serious and complex problem, which required an urgent and quick resolution. I thought to myself, “I hope Ed reads that post – he can solve it and all will be well”!

We had a plant shutdown during the Holidays and I was in shock to learn that we have lost Ed. During the Holidays I was thinking of Ed and all the things he has contributed to so many and his vast knowledge of computers from every possible angle.

We will all miss Ed and we should celebrate his life and many contributions to so many.

Tom


>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.
