My Deepest Condolences...
to Ed's Family and all the Friends he gathered here on FAOL.
I am glad he found and plied his hand in his passion for rod building, becoming a full time rod builder. To boldly go where others fear to tread especially in these times.
And to read of the ways he touched many hearts here is Testimony to a life lived well. I never talked to Ed, but I enjoyed his posts here.

Do you know what Fishermen and Fisherwomen do in Heaven?
They stock the Rivers, Lakes, and Oceans here on Earth with more fish.
I can only hope I am worthy of helping.

So the next fish you catch? Well, you think about who just might have put it there...
Gone from this Earth, but lives on in your hearts.
