    Edward Mowton...

    Good morning...

    On Facebook, I read that Ed Mowton of ERM Performance Tuning passed away this morning. It was posted by his son. Im hoping Im NOT confusing his identity.

    If this is true, RIP sir. I have purchased his stuff (tuning books) in the past. I think we all have benefited from his knowledge and experience.

    RIP...

    Terrible news, he definitely kept it to himself and was helping his customers literally up until a few days or weeks ago from what I understood. All around good guy, may his soul rest in peace.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    R.I.P. Edward!! I purchased his course and it has been a tremendous help and he was quick to answer questions and help me when needed. The tuning world lost a very good man today.

    I just saw it on FB, so sad. He battled it for 2 years and kept his chin up, he even posted a few weeks ago apologizing for delays and such. He will be missed and it reminds me that tomorrow is not guaranteed for any of us.

    Ed was a awesome human being, a fighter till the end. I learned a ton from him, our sessions would always run long because we would just end up shooting the breeze. I miss my friend already, R.I.P. buddy.

    I just found out about this last night from another friend. Ed would drop everything at a moment's notice to answer a phone call to discuss things. He was a great man and a good friend. Wish I had kept in touch with him more along. The last time I talked to to him, he was in remission. This really has been sad to hear and I really hope he's at peace now. He will be missed.

    I only knew him through the forums, his book and emails. Very professional, very helpful and positive. Ed, you will be missed by more than your immediate friends and family.

    Ed was great man like others mentioned. He helped so many on this forum and on many other avenues. You never would have know he was sick if he didnt tell you, he helped customers and friends to the very end. Godspeed my friend and thank you for everything.
