I met Ed at Camp Perry several times. He made the Mayliegh team as a shooter and was a builder of accurate 1911 pistols. RIP.

His service was yesterday.
Learned some thing about him I didn't know.
He never really talked about himself.
Was on the rifle team in High School.
He did serve in the Army during the Korean war.
Was on the rifle team.
He redesigned the front sight for the M1 Garand, but didn't get any credit for it.
Distinguished in .22 rifle, large bore rifle and pistol.
I knew he worked/retired for Pan Am, had a jewelry making business, an import business, along with his Gunsmith business.
Also a golfer, and 3rd degree Black Belt in Karate, NRA instructor.
Good number of people there.
I will miss him.

I’m sorry to hear of his passing. Met him at Perry when he did his 1911 gunsmithing classes. Highlight was when he let me shoot the Dragon Gun on the practice range. I still have the Tee shirt that had his pic on it for the class.
He will be missed.
