Calling ed12 **RIP**

I haven’t seen this guy around for a long time and he is a great wealth of knowledge. Ed12 please say hello to let us know you are still around.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Edward Downey of London, Ontario passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 31, 2018 after a valiant health battle at the age of 60.

I'm sure he was our ed12 based on his name, city, age, and date of passing.

I’m very sorry to hear that. My thoughts go out to his family. He will be missed.

It's sad, he was a very helpful guy with lots of knowledge. He came over a couple of times to help me with some GT board issues I was having and always willing to help send files etc.

Damn visited BYOAC the day he passed. I'd totally make a "shame he didn't get to see the wiki return" joke but I don't think it'd go over well. His posts were sometimes usually tough to read, but he was a wiz at fixing golden tees and a bunch of different jukes. May his memory live on!
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Yeah, I've actually spoke with Ed on the phone a few times. Luckily he didn't talk the same way he typed :lol .  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.

 :cheers:
