I ran across this listing on Yachtworld. I remembered meeting Ed at Santa Cruz Island a couple of years ago but did not make the connection with his username here until last September, just a couple of weeks before he passed away. Seemed a very nice guy and had a very nicely equipped boat. Maybe it will help the family to circulate this listing.

Pretty sure this is his boat. Can't see the name in the pictures, but there are not many J-40s in SoCal with 4 solar panels on the rails and a hard dodger.
