Ed, words can’t begin to describe how it feels now that you’re gone. I am utterly devastated and feel completely lost. You had such a huge impact on so many people, not only were you the most amazing hockey player, you could pick up anything and be amazing at it, we always joked how perfect you were and it was the only thing we could attempt to insult you about but in every way we could only ever complement you. I would love watching you play and I was so grateful when you came to my games too. You brightened up my day whenever I saw you, I’m so happy you came back to play for Berko. You were the funniest, kindest, most thoughtful guy I’ve ever met and I am so grateful for all of the years of memories we have together. Tom and I will miss you terribly but we’re going to do so many things for you. We said that we’ll be 80 years old, sat at the hockey club still telling people about our best friend Ed. One memory I will cherish forever is when we went for a drink just a couple weekends ago, we played Pictionary in the pub and you said we could play to break the ice, I said Ed we’ve been friends for over a decade and we laughed about how he’d meant with Ewan and I thought you’d meant with you. We laughed so much playing it and it was perfect. It snowed that night and we walked back up your road and had a snowball fight, it was one of the best nights ever. You asked us to run the half marathon with you and I hope you know how many people are now doing it for you, including me with my rubbish knee that I told you about that night and you’d said I could just do the 10k and I said I’d never live it down if everyone else had done the half, I’ll do it now for you, even if I crawl over the finish line. When you drove me home from the pub that day, we spoke about climbing mountains together and how much you loved Tobi and how you couldn’t wait for the next phase when he can walk and talk and I said how much you’d love it and how perfect you were as an uncle. I could go on for hours about all the years we spent playing for Berko and hanging out every Saturday night with Tom and Georgie, working our first job together at Waitrose, but all I want do is see you and tell you all of this. I hope you know how much I’ll miss you and how much you meant to me. I will think about you every day and do so many things for you. Love you mate x
