I was lucky enough to work with Eddie for two years. I learnt more from him in that time than I did from anyone else in my other 48 work years. Eddie was a one off, he had astonishing skills and like all great people was unafraid to share them. Always a gentleman, a great leader and good company. I never saw him lose his temper though he was not afraid to confront the things he disagreed with. Arohanui to Malcolm, Debbie, Richard and Michael and all his whanua.
