Default Ed Muderlak

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

I seem to recall Ed was using his straight gripped GHE this cold day in 2002. Not a great picture but here is Ed taking care of business --

Wow. Another great picture. Dave, what were you shooting that day? Do you have some more pictures you can post of that day "On the Hill"?

I don't know them but I'll surely send a card to Mrs. Muderlak. I found the address on another post. Sorry to hear about your friend, Respectfully, Jerry Andrews

I was using the Parker Bros. look alike Philadelphia Arms C-grade. I only have one other picture from that day, but it is not of Ed.

Scott K. took EDM's former CHE duck hunting today, the gun that was featured on the cover of the dust jacket of "The Old Reliable". He took three greenheads, a black and a Canada goose with 6 shots. A guiding hand today on the barrels perhaps.

For those interested here is the link to Ed's Obituary, too soon gone but he lived a very interesting life.

Well said, Francis. Ed was one of those truly unique individuals who marched to the beat of his own drummer. There are far too few folks around like that now, and more's the pity. I, too, will look forward to meeting up with you at the Southern.

Best Regards, George
