Nice and Beatiful Dan. I posted a little something on instagram and facebook as well that I'd also like to share with you.

that's mark, me and Ed, at PdCon16, but this was also my birthday and this was a birthday pic with my Pd buddies, we went out later to celebrate my 39th birthday.

Back in 2009 when we hosted the convention in Brazil, Ed was bitten by a tropical spider and his hand got quite swollen, I hope we had given him a nicer welcome to the jungle...

I met him in 2007 at the PdCon in Montreal and loved him right away. I guess we also bonded over a silly sense of humor.

When I found out my nephew was autistic, I reached Ed for guidance and help, cause I knew his son was also on the spectrum, he was really nice and gave me a lot of attention and information!

He was the life of the party and he'll be missed.

RIP "Sir" Edward Kelly, as I used to call him.

cheers

Howdy all,

I wrote up a little RIP page with some pictures and video from Pd cons 2011 and 2016. A unique member of the community indeed:

Ed Kelly and I bonded over computer music and a silly sense of humor. Although I only hung out with him a few times in person and we mainly communicated online over the years, it felt like I had always known him. I know things were not always easy for him, but he would push through with creative energy. He will be missed in the Pure Data community, through which I met him. Condolences to his friends and family in the UK and around the world.

@Alex: Is there a condolences page to write to, specifically not on Facebook, etc? Maybe we can all write something to show his touch beyond in-person relationships.

It's a great shame, I remember him with great joy, I still remember the
anecdote about the dog. A great guy.
:/
Jos?

@Jos?: What was the anecdote?

Tehomas Bow on facebook gave us the bad news. He had a stroke and fell, got
injured and passed away this friday. He leaves us soon, just before turning
50. Ed was quite a fun character, I loved him, he'll be missed. Rest in
Peace.
