May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. I met Ed in 1978 when Joni and I moved to Myrtle Beach. He showed me the ropes to being a remote CE and I have many fond memories of some pretty ugly jogging we'd do on cold mornings, some water skiing trips he'd invite me on and many of what I'll call "Ed-isms" for terms that would make perfect sense for what we did at work. I know he's missed by many.

I was saddened to hear the news of Ed's passing. I came to Charleston in 1983 as a IBM Field Manager where we first met. Ed was a joy to know and work with. He was very personable, someone you could always count on.
My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. May God Bless.

I worked with Ed at IBM and my wife was his customer. He was a great and wonderful guy with a unique "Southern teckie" sense of humor that I always enjoyed. He will be sorely missed. Our prayers and condolences for his loved ones.
