Lost my Truck'n Partner

Some of you knew him, EdB on the board. Ed and I met thru this board 19 years ago. ED and I have been together under so many old vehicles in that time. They discovered cancer 2 weeks ago and it spread too fast to do anything with. He passed this morning. First time I ever went thru being there during the time. Please keep Ed's wife Brenda (me too) as the final arrangements are made.

Thank you all.

Re: Lost my Truck'n Partner

Bill I'm so sorry to hear this. What a cool thing to have met him here and had a 19 year truck run. What a terrible loss after 19 years of spending time on trucks together. You and his wife will be in my prayers. I'll pray that God will encourage you and sustain her in dealing with this sudden loss.

Re: Lost my Truck'n Partner

Ed was one of those guys you liked as soon as you met. Just so genuine and down to earth. And very knowledgeable about a great many things, but never came across as being a know-it-all.
I first met Ed and Bill at Cruisin' the Coast in 2003. He will be greatly missed. Please keep his wife Brenda in your thoughts and prayers.

Ed is going to be missed. I'm going to miss sitting around his shop and shooting the breeze.
