I met Ed at All-Canada when I started there in 1989 and although he was exactly 28 years my senior (we were both born May 16) he treated me with his typical class - and as a colleague and friend - from day one. Attended many Jays (Openers especially) and Leafs games together for many years. His words of wisdom were many and included (funny) that our media sales jobs were "better than stealing hubcaps" and (serious) that "you never have to look too far to find someone worse off than you." My favourite Ed stock line was that he would wait until a sales meeting was 2 or 3 minutes late to start and he'd bellow "what time does the 8:30 meeting start today?" When describing someone he liked he would always say they were a "solid citizen" - but of course none were more solid than Ed. So very sad to hear he's gone but very happy to have known him. Sincere condolences to Ed's family and friends. Al Banks
