Very sad news 
Last Friday I had a dinner with a couple of vets of the 359th FG, near Columbus. I have been planning to go meet them in the USA for a few years and I am glad I finally managed.
PS. For those who enjoy veteran stories, please have a listen to the audio clip I recorded last year, while having a phone conversation with a Mustang pilot.

I am really glad I recorded our conversation (the full thing is 70 mins, but I made a 10-min crop of that describing the relevant bits to the artwork).

Jack,
I wonder if I met the gentleman at sometime during his life in Salem???
Ed sounds like a really great guy and pilot.
He will no doubt be missed by many!!

Ed lived in Salem Towne. His son, Tom, is a F-15 driver and a Col in the OR ANG currently CO of Kingsley Field at K-Falls. I predict he will someday in the near future command the OR ANG!

Another of Ed's sons was a Marine F-4 RIO and sole survivor of a mid-air between their F-4 and a Hughes Air West DC-9 in 1971.

Jack,
I've been throwing around the idea of putting up a plaque or something along with the pictures and other stuff of his on display at the OFM. Please get in touch with me to provide info, and we'll see what we can do.

Curtiss,
There's a whole dispaly case of Ed's stuff I loaned to the museum
in the hanger along with his uniform which Teri put in the storage room off
the gift shop. I think the wall above the case has about 5-6 photos.
I took some pictures when Gary W. and I set it all up but I don't have
them anymore
I had a info card in the case. I hope everything
is still intact.
There's actually a lot of stuff I have on loan there

Jack.
Yeah, there is still a lot on display. I'm not sure what percentage of what you loaned is still out. At least a good amount is still out though. That is why I was thinking about a memorial plaque, or something. It would be displayed with his items. What do you think.

Sounds good to me.
The whole case is/was filled with loaned material related to Ed.
I hope it's intact!?!?!?
