Ed Lis R.I.P.

We just received the terrible news that our dear friend, club member and business associate Ed Lis has lost his battle with Cancer.

Ed was truly one of the good guys and we will miss him very much.

Our deepest condolences go out to all his friends and family.

Re: Ed Lis R.I.P.
 

Very sad news, Ed was a good man and a car guy for sure.
He will be missed.

Re: Ed Lis R.I.P.
 

Wow...this sucks. Ed always went out of his way to email me about how Holly was doing....and I finally got to meet him in person when Holly and I went to MCACN a few years ago. He was standing and talking to Kenny Pascoe. It was hard to miss him with his deep booming voice [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]


Rest in peace my friend....

Very upsetting to hear this. Ed and Dennis were always friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them.
Big voice; big smile, big handshake, ....... just an overall great guy.

Sad news. R.I.P. Ed. You are missed.

Re: Ed Lis R.I.P.
 

A very sad time for me. Ed was without a doubt the best all around guy I have ever met in the car hobby. Just a kind, honest, straight shooter type of guy. He was as good a friend as anyone could have in life. He was just like a lot of his cars, a one of a kind original. I had a better life knowing Ed Lis

Re: Ed Lis R.I.P.
 

Sad new for sure - Ed was a true gentleman and car guy. He helped me to sell my 68Z and we became friends forever thereafter.

RIP ED

Re: Ed Lis R.I.P.
 

Very sad to hear. Ed was very genuine and always went out of his way to say hello. GREAT GUY and will be missed.R.I.P.

Re: Ed Lis R.I.P.
 

Very sad news indeed. Ed was a great guy who had an infectious passion for this hobby and specifically survivor cars. RIP Ed.....

Re: Ed Lis R.I.P.
 

Sorry to hear of his battle lost. The more friends found, eventually, more friends lost. Godspeed to another great car guy!

Re: Ed Lis R.I.P.
 

Going to miss Ed's survivor posts and transactions. Always top-self photography, well detailed, and honestly documented, no fluff. Never got to meet him in person but talked to Ed several times about his 68 California Raisin Firebird 400 4spd back in 2009 when he was selling....had a big heart for the Pontiacs. Thought about contacting Ed this spring because the Raisin is in my care now.

My best to a true car guy,

Kevin-

Re: Ed Lis R.I.P.
 

So sad to hear this.
Didn't even know he was sick,and looked as healthy as an ox when he visited me.
Ed was a good guy,and had a keen eye for collecting unique items.
My sincere condolences to his sister &amp; remaining family.

Re: Ed Lis R.I.P.
 

So sorry to hear the terrible news Dennis,found out from Mike at Tri-Power. I remember Ed on the construction side when he was a member of U.A.134 and on the car side at many car auctions and visits to his eastern Indiana shop.
My sincere condolences to you and Ed's family.

Re: Ed Lis R.I.P.
 

This is such sad news. I feel priviledged to have been able to spend some time with Ed, and am really happy that I &quot;twisted his arm&quot; to get him to bring his Yenko T/A to MCACN.

Always a gentleman, with a great sense of humor and an undeniable passion for cars.

Indeed, my thoughts are with you, Dennis, along with the rest of Ed's family. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Live every day to the fullest!

So sorry to hear this news; I didn't know Ed was sick. I never met Ed in person but we corresponded about several of his cars, one of which is a &quot;sister&quot; to mine.
