I have just recieved a message from Claire French, Eddies daughter, Eddie lost his battle with cancer last night and he is gone from us, just a couple of days ago he was telling me that he was taking coffee on the veranda and enjoying the sunshine.
Stand down soldier, duty done.

I only really knew Ed through loads of e-mails and too few phone calls; it is my eternal regret that I never met him in person. I had known he was unwell, but to read of his death on FB came as a total shock.
We found common links and a closeness from some shared experiences; he was proud of his family and their fierce loyalty and love, that came through on occasions we spoke on the phone.
You're missed mate, and always will be.
Rest easy, Kingo.
