Yeah, I've actually spoke with Ed on the phone a few times. Luckily he didn't talk the same way he typed
. We have called each other a few times just to bounce ideas off the other. Last time I talked with him he wasn't doing too well and was in some pretty intensive radiation therapy. He was talking about moving out of "onterrible" and heading west to Alberta or Saskatchewan to basically live out his life. Sadly he never got out.
A little tough to read his messages... but he was a good guy though.
