Amba Lee and I are stunned to learn of the sudden passing of Ed Trickett. In Ed we have lost a dear friend we have known and loved for over half a century—the kindest, most considerate person, the most simpatico of all fellow musicians, whose every visit, every song, every conversation was a deep and lasting pleasure.

It seems impossible that he will never again walk in at our door with guitar, hammer dulcimer, and the particular joy and good fellowship that was uniquely his.

Our fondest love and deepest condolences to Dina and the children,

Bob and Amba
