<div class="moz-cite-prefix">So sorry to hear about Ed. Yes, we
snarked at him and he snarked back. As Bob and others have said
if you gave him crap back you were almost family. It was his way
of testing your mettle. He was generous, and would give help when
needed(several times in my case). Many will think some of us are
exalting him a bit much. You had to know his history, health, and
problems. Ed is the guy that you may not feel like talking to or
contacting all the time but there was a comfort knowing he was
there and present in you life. Kinda like all you folks. Bud
hasn't been heard from for awhile but it's a comfort knowing he's
there. I feel the same way about this entire list. When one is
called to the last garage there is a hole....at least until those
departed are reincarnated as someone worthy of being on this list,
i.e., hates cats, moans about bootleg parts and low quality from a
certain Asian country with which we're going to have a tariff
war. Yup, Ed was family like it or not. I say this with
respect...Rest in Piece you *@#$&@!! HA! Now he'll haunt
me. Yup definitely a hole in the space time continuum.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I was sorry to hear about Ed the first time. This
seems to be the real thing. Ed may have been caustic, but he
always came thru if you needed something. He worked with me and
Elizabeth to help chuck get to the Saab thing in FL, so his
heart was always in the right place.

become with his parts inventory?

Chicago suburb of Hinsdale with his wife Cindy
for the past thirty years or so. He was one of
the founding members of the Illini Chapter of
the AHCA. and until a few years ago, a frequent
contributor the autox Healey and Spridget
lists. R.I.P. Ed.</div>
