Ed worked incredibly hard during his years at Maven. And most of the time, he wasn’t working on flagship efforts that would warrant immediate recognition and acclaim. Rather, his immense efforts were focused on the background and core of our systems in ways that have made and will continue to make the life of many a Maven developer easier and more productive. Many a time, he would jog out of the office late in the evening, often minutes before the clock struck midnight when the doors locked. He was deeply focused on his work but was there to help when I’d run into technical issues that were all too mundane by his standards. Those who have engaged him in conversation on matters other than software development would have found that Ed had vast knowledge on topics most diverse. And all of us wannabe athletes can and should look up to Ed’s memory for inspiration as to how far one can go if one has the grit and perseverance that he doubtless had. You will be missed, Ed, but you live on in our memories!
