RIP SWEEPING WINGER - ED

I have been just punched in the gut. The first time I really met Ed was sitting on the side of the road after witnessing Bap(?) asphalt luge Flying Hun's green Versus. I remember thinking, wow, this guy is really cool.

Later I would get to sit with Ed on numerous rallies. We had several conversations about his wife who was suffering and in decline from Alzheimers. I really believe our rallies and the barf community became Ed's family.

Very sad and grateful to Meandad for tracking him down. Do we have any links to a memorial service or has that passed?
 
Very sorry to see this, RIP Ed
 
I think I talked to Ed maybe three times, and only at the Weaverville rallies. What a mellow guy, and a bit of a lead foot in that Caddy!
 
Just saw this thread. 2023 is NOT off to a good start. I consider myself supremely fortunate to have known Ed. He will be missed at future rallies, to be sure. :/
 
WTF. Ed and Paul were two of my favorites. I met Ed while on the second or third BARF Hawthorne. We somehow got way ahead of the groups and blasted up Ebettes alone. Ed was also one of the few 6:30am breakfast at the El Cap diner. You will be missed :rose
 
Losing another hero of mine

Ed was a true gentleman. He rode for the love of it with nothing to prove and he seemed to enjoy every mile.
Those early rallies were awesome. Paul, Ed and Ray must be on one now, I imagine, teaching Rory the street. :ride:ride:ride:ride
Thanks Ed for always having our backs.
Ride on!:ros
And thank you Kevin for driving up to check on him. You are an amazing soul.
 
This one is rough, I remember meeting Ed at a number of BARF rallies and group rides. He was such a good guy, so sad to see him gone.
 
I met Ed at my first rally and looked forward to seeing him each year. It’s really comforting to get to know him better through the eyes and hearts of this community. His sagely presence will be missed but not forgotten.
