Industry lurker de-cloaking temporarily to say,
"Many thanks Stuart for your words"
Yes Ed was a great rep, as well as a great dad, husband and friend.
He will be missed by dealers and D1 family alike.
Watch Pool and Spa News for more.
A lesson learned was that though for over a year as he knew he was dying, he kept going. Even when not able to drive, he asked to be driven into territory to see accounts as late as Mid June.
In all this he kept going, never once saying, " Why Me". He volunteered his time for others entering into their radiation treatment as a councilor and just never gave up. I will never forget watching a better more valiant unselfless champion fighter win, despite losing.
What's interesting when reading posts and common thread themes on this forum is the symetry of need and what we actually lost in this "good man", as Stuart poetical wrote;
Ed was a professional sales consultant with attributes both consumers and dealers on this site seem to quest for in our industry.
If more could only be like Ed, where would we( the spa industry) all be?!
