RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted April 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 8, 2017 Hello Ken and Sam I too would like to add my condolences. I only knew Ed through RMweb and like every one else has already said he will be missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Like many, I only knew Ed from his regular and valued posting on here. Having read some from him in recent days this really has come as a shock. That his death was ultimately peaceful is some consolation. Deepest condolences to Ken, Sam and Ed's other family and friends. . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted April 8, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 8, 2017 Ken, Sam and family Like a lot of us here on rmweb forums, we may never have met, but we all "knew" your Dad via the internet. He will be greatly missed on here, but I'm sure that it will be harder for you all. Deepest sympathy Brian W. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRat Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Very sad news about a stalwart of the forum. Never met Ed, but like many he became a virtual pal. RIP Ed......and thoughts to all of your family and friends. Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted April 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 8, 2017 Very sad news and condolences to Ken and Sam and your families and friends touched by Ed's death. I first met him at breakfast time at Railex some years ago and that seemed to establish a continuing pattern of meeting him, albeit not every year, at breakfast time at Railex and then coming across him as we made our way round the show. I understand that his health had been in decline for some time but that never seemed to affect his spirit and his intention to still get out and about, or his ability to come out with some superb 'one liner' posts which at times betrayed an impish sense of humour lurking within. We'll miss him on here (and at breakfast time at Stoke Mandeville on the second day of Railex) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Abel Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Ken and Sam, I'm so sorry to learn this. I always enjoyed the banter and observations Ed provided, especially in the ER section that so many of us knew him from. I'll keep your family in my thoughts this weekend as you deal with your and our loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianusa Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Like so many on this and other forums, these sad circumstances happen and apart from friends and family very few have had personal contact or acquaintance but are none the less affected as they would by their own loss.

Thank you for the tributes. We've organised the funeral for the 28th of April and here are the details: 10:15 Funeral service at: Harwood Park Crematorium Watton Road Datchworth Stevenage Hertfordshire SG2 8XT 11:30 Wake at: The Willows 271 Broadwater Crescent Stevenage Hertfordshire SG2 8ET We've decided family flowers only, and will be asking for donations for the Cinnamon Trust as they've done so much to help with re-homing Alfie. Hope to see you there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
