  15. To Mandy, Rixt, Femke and family,
    My deepest condolences. I do feel this world is a little bit darker without Eward in it. Although I only spent a short time with him working on ferris wheels, I considered him a close friend and colleague. He had an intoxicating personality. How could you not love him. Mate, I look forward to riding a giant ferris wheel up there in the sky. May you rest in peace brother.

    We can well remember the lovely ski day in Switzerland with Eward who was very much the mood maker that day. Always so kind, so respectful, always in a good mood and with lots of energy! My son was his biggest fan and the races on the slopes were so much fun and unforgettable! Like this, Eward will stay in our hearts and memories.

    Eward has left the garden of life, but his flowers that he planted will blossom forever!
