Worked at DeVry briefly on a gig way back when and Ed was on-board...brilliant R&D mind...Bell & Howell most definitely got their money's worth...
Had lunch with a few of us coders one day--he paid--and kept us all mesmerized by laying out paths we could take to keep our talents in play on a business level...turned out to be sound advice...
Considered him amazing...one of the most pleasant and "giving" men I've ever met
RIP, Ed...
