Ed embraced each day with a smile as if he knew a secret of grand proportions, waiting for the right moment to share it with the world. Ed and I worked together on several projects in higher education. He was thoughtful, caring, and concerned with accuracy and fairness, and he approached every assignment with extreme professionalism. He was a mentor, friend, and colleague. He will be missed. Rest in peace, my friend.
