Prayers and condolences to Ed's family and friends.

Thanks, Ed, for great advice and selfless sharing of your knowledge and passion with others for so many years!

I never got to meet Ed but I am very saddened by the news. I will miss his great insights to all the new equipment that was coming out. I have even posted a few times before he got on to "Just Wait" Ed will be by any minute with some info on what ever the toplc was! And sure enough he would post in on the topic. It's kind of like losing part of the family when someone on this site passes away! Even though we don't always agree on things!

[EBass]

I can't believe what I'm reading! I don't even know what to say. God bless him and his family.

Very sad news to hear.... My thoughts and prayers go out to Ed's family and friends.

Ed's wealth of knowledge and kindness will be greatly missed on this site....

His last post to "3pronghook" Helping others all the way until the end.

I would opt for the Marine Vinyl boat flooring with the aggressive rubberized finish. Slip resistant and easy to clean and will not get soaked up. Add a runner type rug to fit your needs latter if you think you need it. They runner rugs roll up and get out of the way easily, and dry fairly quickly.

Holy sh*t this is surreal, I couldn't believe it when I opened this thread. Just read his posts a day ago and today he is gone. A fine line we all walk for sure. Thoughts and prayers to family, friends and associates....RIP

I liked Ed's posts. He was a level headed individual.

Scary stuff. I don't think I will ever fish alone again.

[gloomiseye]

Wow that sucks, I always enjoyed his posts. RIP.

[CAMAN]

My thoughts go out to him, his family, and friends. 8869 posts of knowledge, humor, and selflessness. We'll miss you Eddy!

I never got to meet Ed in person ( we swapped a few emails from time to time ), I tried to catch up with him a few times at the store but if he was there, he was always helping someone and I wasn't about to interrupt. He always had informative posts and was an asset to this forum.

R.I.P Ed

This is really hard, I never personally met Ed, but even knowing him the little i did just thru this site, its hurts. I'm very sad about this. A personal freind to many, a cyber freind to many more. Rest in peace Ed on the Red. Your memory is forever on this site. Boar

[Dan189]

I live in S. Fargo and this is a shocker to our community and the FMN family. Such a humble professional that was willing to help excited youth, and more than giving with advise for all. Our communnity and the fishing blogosphere just lost a pioneer and a legend. The Red won't be the same. RIP Ed!
