As a jeweler He brought unique skills to his craft and shared with us how he carefully thought out what was to be. He brought a most unusual ring that he made for his wife. He could do most anything 

Aloha Mr Miyagi

As CR stated, we are indeed diminished.
Had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times at Perry.

We are diminished.  Aloha.

I think I'll go and review my journals to find some of Ed's comments so I can relive the conversations. And shooting the Dragon Gun!
