Whoa, that was unexpected.

It is a real shame to loose a member of the community who has contributed so much.

I did not meet the man, but did speak with him on the phone. A very sad loss for the industry and community.

Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Ed was one of those guys who kept the history of television alive. His website had compiled just about anything you wanted to know about the early development of color television. He will be greatly missed

My sincere condolences to his family. True, a person who knew so much gone...

I hope things are in the works to archive his websites and any other notes he
may have with regards to his tv work.....

Rest in peace.....
