lordshipmayhemI knew this fellow from the Investor Village website: a bright, courteous, thoughtful and fun-filled fellow. He was a former U.S. Marine (injured in a helicopter crash during the disastrous Somalia deployment that led to the dismantling of Canada's Airborne Regiment), a ham radio operator, and effective in the fall of last year for romantic reasons, a Hungarian citizen (his girlfriend was Hungarian).
We were wondering where he was, when we discovered that four weeks ago he'd had a slip and fall on some ice, passing away two days later of his head injury.
I suppose it's safe to say that the incident in the middle of the night, where someone let off a bloody huge signal rocket (co-incidentally, the day when Judge Kimball made his decision that SCO owned, well, nothing), that was Ed. Set off car alarms, had the police going door-to-door asking if anyone knew anything.
