To Jenny and the family,

Judy and I send our condolences at this sad time for you all. Edward was a good colleague and I always enjoyed his comradeship. I guess I will never forget that moment in the Timaru Court when I sold him that property at 7 Branscombe Street. I am truly delighted that the family had such a great time living there, and you two did wonders with it. We send our love

To Jenny and family, my deepest sympathies are with you at this time. I will never forget my association with Edward at RSM. I remember as if yesterday, listening to him dictate from our secretaries desk. It was akin to listening to a sermon delivered from the pulpit, and hellfire and brimstone did not seem unlikely some days!. He could compose a dialogue like no other! His eloquent vocabulary often sent us hurriedly searching for a dictionary. To this day I often think, what linguistics would Edward use, as he was a true master. A great man has joined the heavens and may he keep them on their toes.
