One of the first things he did when he arrived was incredibly selfless - volunteer to teach computer skills to the less fortunate. He did this out of the public spotlight, driven only by his desire to give back to the community he loved.
However, it was just over a year ago that we saw another side of Edgardo – an unbreakable resolve to defeat the impossible. He refused to give up in the face of a fast-spreading and fully incurable disease. He pushed himself to the limits, returning to the air throughout his treatment and remaining positive and upbeat through it all. He was our inspiration – and we loved him.
