I'm sure he was our ed12 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=profile;u=26998) based on his name, city, age, and date of passing.

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!

Post by: lilshawn on September 23, 2019, 02:46:03 pm: 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:
