Sad news indeed. I had heard he was suffering from terminal cancer. Sounded like a fine man. Just recently bought his latest book and it is a great piece. Prayers for his family at this difficult time for a loved one's leaving. I am sure he rests in God's bosom.

My Wife Terri and I got to know the Muderlaks while they sailed through the Bahamas and stopped at the small island of Staniel Cay where we have a winter home. It was great to have spirited conversations about guns, and life in general with Ed and Nancy.

We would always visit thereafter at the Vintage Cup, Southern SXS, or whatever venue brought us together.

Our heartfelt sympathy for Nancy and the rest of his family.

He will be sorely missed!

I did not know Ed but lament the passing of another shotgun brethren. Godspeed Ed.

I met Ed only once when we were at the same motel for the UP SxS shoot and he "loaned" me Parker for an evening so I'd have a dog to nap with. A fine gentleman and I'm very sorry to hear of his passing.

I didn't know him either but I am aware of his writings and it's always a shame when we lose a noted author. Hopefully someone will forward this thread to his family.

I am very sorry to hear of Ed's passing. I know he faced cancer with great bravery and was able to complete his last book in the face of it -- a tribute to his love of guns and gunning history. With the loss of Michael McIntosh this has been a bad year. My condolences to his wife and family.

I knew him primarily through his many posts & opinions.

I am saddened to learn of his passing.

We need more passionate & opinionated people who speak with their own voices from their own experiences, not less.

God bless both he and his family.

Met Ed years ago at a small gunshop (Nimrod) located in Leesburg, Va. Ed knew the owner and often dropped by while in the area to collect old hunting books and other literature that he could use for background for the different books/articles he was writing. I had picked up a copy of Muderlak's first book on Parker Shotguns (Old Reliable) and was looking it over when I noticed the picture of the author (Ed) on the dust cover looked remarkably like the fellow now smoking a large cigar with the owner. As I was figuring things out, Ed noticed my eyes locked in his direction. He then very nicely asked me if I wanted him to autograph the book I now had in my hands and of course I stammered yes. As I'm writing this, I just dug the book out. What Ed penned was the following: 20 May 2000 - To Tom Tutwiler who just happened to be at Nimrod's when I was there. Ed Muderlak

Seemed like a gentleman and indeed a good man. Glad I got a chance to shake his hand and say hello. He will indeed be missed.

So sorry to hear of Ed's passing. Had only one telephone conversation with him but he was, as others have noted, a wealth of Parker information. He will be missed. My prayers and best wishes to his friends and family. Jeff S.
