[Spridgets] Obituary for Edwin Whitney Kaler

[Brad Fornal]

Ed, though a huge pain in the ass, but yeah, once you fed a load of his
crap back his way, he calmed the F down, and was a good friend.
I am not a huge believer in credit cards. I didn't get one until I was in
my late 40's. But when I needed a part, Ed would send it, with a bill,
KNOWING I would send a check immediately.
EVEN when the order for an entire new front suspension was close to the
$1000 mark.
Did I call him to bullshit, no, Ed didn't like you wasting his time like
that. At least not with me. But when you needed him, he was there.
Rest in Peace
Asshole (I mean that with the most love possible)
