I'm sorry bud. If I knew what to say I'd say it but I'll just send good thoughts and prayers. I hate hearing this stuff. Try to keep on fighting.

![]() I'd echo what Dave said. Just reading about the manner in which you've handled this situation has had a bigger impact on my life than you could ever know. You're first class all the way man. Hopefully your transition is peaceful and painless. You will be missed. God Bless. |

The news breaks my heart Ed. We never met, yet I feel I owe you a debt of gratitude - first for your willingness to stay connected here and include us in your struggle, and for your example of bravery in the face of it. I recognize I've been ignorant about a few important things, I'm wiser for your sharing yourself with us and the perspective you've given. I hope you know how much it has meant. Comfort and blessings to you Sir.

I've read this thread in silence, and I apologize for that. My mom lost her bout with cancer right before Christmas, and this thread has been cathartic for me in some small manner. Thank you for including us in your journey and your fight. We all owe you a debt of gratitude for letting us in to your life while you were fighting this evil ****ing disease.
Thank you, Ed. You are an inspiration to us all. |

Ed, my brother, I am beyond grateful for having the chance to get to know you over the last year. Your travels, your zeal for life, and your unflinching strength in the face of this situation have been inspiring to say the least.
Stay with us as long as you can, we're here for you. |

Ed, I don't ever think I'll ever be able to display the courage and strength that you have shown us. Don't stop fighting and just know you're in my thoughts.
As others have said, you truly are an inspiration. |

You are a great and inspiring man. If I could face life's difficulties with half of your strength, I would count it a life well lived.

Ed, reading this, I had a few tears run down my cheeks. I don't think you can possibly understand how many lives you've positively influenced. Sometimes I'm a grumpy bastard by nature but have been working to better myself, primarily based on your inspiring posts.
If I am ever in a similar situation, I have vowed to handle it with the same dignity, grace, and positivity you've demonstrated. Although, I'm not certain I possess the same deep-down courage you have. You have touched many lives, Sir. Even though we never actually met, I love you, brother. Everyone is telling you to keep fighting and that's probably exactly what you'll do. However, if you're worn out, it is okay to just sit back, relax and enjoy as much as you can. Handle the next few weeks however the hell you feel like handling them. **** cancer, my friend. You'll be remembered. |

Ed, this is obviously sad news to hear but I am deeply humbled and honored to have shared your story and struggle.
My father passed away from liver cancer at age 56 a day before his 57th birthday. Your battle over these many years has affected me personally and I am deeply blessed to have interacted with you since I joined in 2009. Your courage, dignity and warrior spirit will never be forgotten by me or anyone else who has ever had the pleasure of knowing you, either personally or anonymously on this forum. We are all the better for it. God speed, God bless and may your final journey be as positive and easy as possible. ![]() |
