[Spridgets] Obituary for Edwin Whitney Kaler

[bmwwxman at gmail.com]

What Dave W said.  Half the time I could have throttled him, but I'll miss him now he's gone. Not sure which elevator he took (up or down) but I'm pretty sure he'll be giving the management crap either way.

So sorry to hear about Ed.  Yes, we snarked at him and he snarked back.  As Bob and others have said if you gave him crap back you were almost family.  It was his way of testing your mettle. He was generous, and would give help when needed(several times in my case).  Many will think some of us are exalting him a bit much.  You had to know his history, health, and problems.  Ed is the guy that you may not feel like talking to or contacting all the time but there was a comfort knowing he was there and present in you life.  Kinda like all you folks.  Bud hasn't been heard from for awhile but it's a comfort knowing he's there. I feel the same way about this entire list.  When one is called to the last garage there is a hole....at least until those departed are reincarnated as someone worthy of being on this list, i.e., hates cats, moans about bootleg parts and low quality from a certain Asian country with which we're going to have a tariff war.  Yup, Ed was family like it or not.  I say this with respect...Rest in Piece you *@#$&@!!  HA!  Now he'll haunt me.  Yup definitely a hole in the space time continuum.

I was sorry to hear about Ed the first time. This seems to be the real thing. Ed may have been caustic, but he always came thru if you needed something. He worked with me and Elizabeth to help chuck get to the Saab thing in FL, so his heart was always in the right place.
Now where will we get Busty parts loosener? And what will become with his parts inventory?

FYI, I just received this from one of our local Healey club members, that Ed Kaler passed away in January.  He lived in the southwest Chicago suburb of Hinsdale with his wife Cindy for the past thirty years or so.  He was one of the founding members of the Illini Chapter of the AHCA. and until a few years ago, a frequent contributor the autox Healey and Spridget lists.  R.I.P. Ed.
Attached is the Obituary for Edwin Whitney Kaler for your information as posted today in the local Hinsdale newspaper.
