I will never forget the infectious enthusiasm Edi showed for everything he tackled and the great diplomacy with which he managed the big personalities involved in the Sustainable Construction competitions, which is the role in which I knew him best. He had enormous grace under pressure (a certain train accident in Nairobi comes to mind) and no mater how stressful the moment he had a knack for calming tempers, making a plan and making people feel that everything is under control, even if we all knew he was frantically paddling underneath the calm surface. Edi is an integral part of my memories of the many places we met and I will always cherish those. You will be missed!
