From OVA Region 6 Referee Chair, Irena Zamboni:
There are just no words to describe the loss and void he leaves behind. While we were lucky to have Ed here with us in R6, he is well respected amongst his volleyball family in all corners of this province and country. Ed literally seemed – EVERYWHERE. If he wasn’t training us on eScore, he was helping with clinics, mentoring, showing up to cheer those doing their upgrades and his peers… He was the first in the gym and the last to leave. You were ‘lucky’ if you got to do your own net-check before Ed got to it.
Ed cheered the accomplishments of others, no matter how big or small, as his own. Actually, that’s an understatement. While parents, family and teams cheered fiercely for their teams during volleyball events big and small, we always had a fan in the stands too: Ed Yu.
In the meantime (rephrasing from Navy tradition) – Rest now our friend Ed, we have the watch.
In the link attached below is an obituary from Yu’s family. Any pictures of Ed can be uploaded onto the obituary’s Tribute Wall.
