I’ll always remember Edwin’s kindness, his passion for discovery, drive to overachieve, exemplary work ethic, and collaborative and supportive attitude. All these enabled him to forge a great career as a scientist and allowed us, the junior researchers at FLLL, to walk more confidently on the academic path. The world lost a good soul far too soon, but Edwin’s spark will forever shine bright through his research achievements and the memory of those lucky to have known him. Heartfelt condolences.
