May the good Lord have you in Heaven an hour before the devil knows your dead.

What do you say when you read news you knew was coming but hoped to never read?
RIP, Ed. Thank you for sharing your story. You inspired. You mattered. You made a difference. You will be remembered. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

In keeping with his positive, moving forward style instead of mourning I think there is a way to honor him.
We had some private conversations about cancer and some things a small cancer related organization I'm affiliated with do. We discussed and I asked his input on some of the things our group has done. Ed expressed to me that the idea of providing iPads to be used by those during chemo treatments would be great. He said he used his playing backgammon, games and browsing here as great distractions. Maybe each of us or as a group could identify his local treatment center, or the one closest to ourselves and donate iPads or care packages with things like gas cards etc to be provided to those fighting that asshole, cancer. Just an idea. If nothing else, throw some coins to your local cancer related foundations. Peace. |

RIP Ed. This makes me wish the stories of the Flying Spaghetti Monster were true, a eternal place of beer volcanoes and free hookers has a great appeal and would be a well deserved place for your final destination.
Thanks for the inspiration. |

it's hard to watch a friend or family member approach death under any circumstances, but ed showed us that it is possible to live exceedingly well to the very end...
i have never seen (ok, read) a more inspiring drama unfold in real time, so to speak... i smiled with ed when he chatted up those pretty danish girls in the bar... i laughed with ed when he described some of his adventures over there... i sometimes stood in awe of ed, the things he said and did in his final journey have touched so many of us in ways that we could never have imagined... and tonight, i cry with tears of joy, although muted with grief, in appreciation of ed's life and his awesome gifts to those of us he loved, from all over the planet, and from all over that other (bigger) planet as well... here's to a life well-lived, my friend, rip... ![]() ![]() ![]() |

This was a great story left to us by Lonewolf Ed.
Unfortunately, not all stories have a happy ending and all of us will eventually meet our ending. Ed's positive attitude throughout his journey and the fact that he defeated his colon cancer, made me feel like he went out a winner. A total ****in' boss. The liver cancer was his ending and I think he knew it would be, yet, He didn't seem to care. One way or another he was going to win. His death ultimately killed the cancer and that was his mindset through the hardest of times. I'm glad his suffering is over and I'm glad he shared so much. Rest in peace.
