I had the great fortune to spend a week with Mr LaRue, Ed, and Ed's brother in law, on a hunting trip in Pennsylvania in the late '70s. We suffered through a week of freezing temperatures (as low as 28 below) in a pop up camper. I'll always remember him as a fun, jovial and kind man, who treated me so well that week. I didn't believe him when he said he would sell all of his camping equipment, but he did, and I don't blame him! So sorry to hear that he's passed on. Warmest condolences to all the family. I know he'll be missed.
