Fellers, the ranks of good gun writers is growing thin. First, it was Michael McIntosh and now Ed. Not many left who know what they're talking about and can scribble it on a piece of paper.
Thanks, Ed. |

Ed never failed to get my attention wherever he posted. With literary verve and style, he had opinions and wasn't afraid to express them. But it's how we use our lives that determine the kind of men we are. Ed lived to a true standard of human values. He did not live as a pretender during a robust life; he burned brightly to the end. Our fraternity is smaller with his loss.

Kevin said it as good as it could be said of Ed's passing.
Ed and Nancy overnighted at our home several time and always was an evening to remember ala Makers Mark or later in the evening in my gun room for a reinforcement of Oban single malt. What a huge loss of gun and hunting lore shooting knowledge. God Bless Ed and Nancy thanks for sweetness you brought to our home. Roger "Coger" Giles |

Thank you, Dave, for the great shot of the "Parker Researchers". For those that don't know, the pigeon shooters are Ed Muderlak, Kevin McCormack, Bill Murphy, Dave Noreen. The setting is a mid winter flyer shoot at the South Ridge Flyers Club, Taylorsville, Maryland, about twenty miles directly north of my house. Guns are probably Ed's old lightly choked BH, now owned by Destry Hoffard, Kevin's outrageous BHE very early vent rib trap, Murphy's PHE crossover stocked vent rib trap, and one of Dave's wonderful long barrel Foxes, probably the Philadelphia Arms Company C Grade safetyless pigeon gun. The guns are much more impressive than the shooters. Ed was a happy guy that day.

My most sincere sympathy to Ed's wonderful wife Nancy, his children, and grandchildren ... The sporting world and the PGCA has lost a GIANT who's knowledge and generosity knew no bounds. He would have celebrated his 70th birthday on Christmas Eve ... I admired Ed because he pulled no punches and suffered no fools. We met through my passion for Parker shotguns and he became my mentor ... But more than that, he became a cherished personal friend that I truly loved as a brother ... Like Destry said, "I will mourn him more than most," but that may be the understatement of the twenty first century ... Rest in Peace my friend ... Rest in Peace.
Jim Kucaba ... Phoenix, Arizona
