Ed called along the way to see how we were doing on our way from Oklahoma to nY. Called on way back as well to see how things were. He was always pushing a button but was a good guy inside. <div><br></div><div>Charlie <br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature">Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Mar 1, 2018, at 8:01 PM, abcoz--- via Spridgets <<a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><!--[if !mso]><style>v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}

I know I’ve kind of drifted away from SpridgetTalk, the past few years, but I’ve continued in the “lurk” mode. I really enjoyed the email conversations Ed and I had “off-list” and we got along just fine. I found him to be a delightfully ornery character and a genuinely good guy.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I see he was only 75, which, to me doesn’t seem very old (many of my friends are around that age and still very active). I hope he didn’t suffer, but, I see he was in some sort of convalescent facility when he died, so I assume it may have been cancer that took him. At any rate, his suffering is ended and he’s in a far better place.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Bud Osbourne<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> Spridgets <<a href="mailto:spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net">spridgets-bounces@autox.team.net</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Neil Anderson via Spridgets<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, March 1, 2018 3:02 PM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>; <a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a><br><b>Subject:</b> [Spridgets] Fwd: Obituary for Edwin Whitney Kaler<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">FYI, I just received this from one of our local Healey club members, that Ed Kaler passed away in January.
