July 11, 2012 (from VC Star Obituary Guestbook) Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Ed was a wonderful role model. His sense of humor and zest for life and learning were legendary. A bundle of energy. He was a man of action with a common sense approach to problem solving that awed all who knew him. As Laura Knight has said, Ed was a fine gentleman and it was our honor to know him. ~ Paula and Scott Rushing, Ventura, California
