Uit de toespraak van zijn vrienden:.................................................................................................................................................... Edward stond altijd voor ons klaar. Verbouwingen, verhuizingen, schuttingen zetten, sjouwen. Samen dingen doen, samen onderweg zijn. Daar kon hij, en wij, enorm van genieten................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Edward was eigenlijk een Braziliaan. Edward was niet van het Nederlandse plannen, het onderhoud, de overlegcultuur, het polderen en agenda’s. Zijn karakter paste veel meer bij de volksaard van dat enorme land in Zuid-Amerika. De energie, enthousiasme, leven in het moment, het sociale, pionieren............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Hij was een goede tuinder. Een intuïtief tuinder die zag wat een plant nodig had en voelde of het klimaat in de kas goed was. Kom daar maar eens om in deze tijd van data en computers. En een goede hovenier. Hij heeft prachtige tuinen aangelegd in Engeland................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Edward altijd wat. Vanaf het begin was dat zo en het is altijd zo gebleven. Edward de reiziger, de danser, de tuinder, de hovenier, Edward de Braziliaan.

I met Edward in Delf, at Cafe de V. In 1992, I sat in a chair, not realizing that his coat was on it. He spoke Dutch to me and I didn't understand anything because I'm Brazilian and had just arrived at NL. Thankfully he spoke English very well, as he became a great friend. He was one of the angels who took care of me while I lived in NL. Beautiful outside and inside, intelligent, sensitive, always sweet, cheerful, calm, humorous, generous, partner and kind. His smile brightened my Dutch days. It brought a serenity that ensured he was always light and deeply pleasant company.

    In one of the times he came to visit me in Brazil, he showed up by surprise, with a motorcycle purchased in Manaus.

    That's right: he flew from Holland to Manaus, where he bought a motorcycle that took him ALONE from there to the northeast and, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, he came down by motorcycle to Campinas.

    I almost had a heart attack when I found out, just imagining the risks he took. And when I went to scold, because a friend also has to scold, he assured me that he didn't take risks since

    when he stopped to sleep in the forest, he would tie the hammock high up in the trees. And he looked surprised when I reminded him that snakes climb trees.

    I'm glad you didn't tell me of his plans because I certainly would have discouraged you from experiencing this adventure—which if it had a title, it would definitely be: "God protects the innocent."

    And he even bragged about having sold the bike in Holambra for the amount he paid in Manaus, after having covered thousands of kilometers with it.

    This happy and adventurous friend of mine, he left leaving happy memories with me and with everyone who was lucky enough to live with his solar smile.

    A person who goes to great lengths to help others can only be in a great place. In the one that God keeps for good-hearted people.
