He was a Craftsman with an innate sense of form and beauty. He was a designer of several models here, namely the Yvsa Cherokee Special and the Cherokee Rose. He, Uncle Bill and Rusty were Brothers of the truest sense. He was a moderator of this forum.
Yvsa was not only my friend, He was my Uncle. He was your Uncle. He was Edutsi.
When i first came here to hang out and particpate, Yvsa was somewhat active and although he was in immense pain, he always came around to offer help, advice and guidance. At first we didn't quite hit it off well and had a couple of minor words. I thought he was a grumpy old man sometimes. As time progressed and i fit in here better, i took the time to approach him and ended up calling him. We had a good conversation where things were explained and let go of and we became friends. I'm so glad that i took the time to know this man. My life is Richer and better for having known him.
Sometimes when it's quiet in the house and my mind is being unquiet, i sometimes start reading and end up thinking about things past and things remembered. Sometimes i think of Uncle Bill and what i know of him thru others and his own writings, I think of Rusty thru what he left here on the forums for us. But most often, i think of someone who was very dear to me. Someone i miss immensely now that he is no longer here to tell me of his life and stories of his proud heritage and of these forums. I miss his wonderful way of seeing life, his insightful perspective, his fiery temper and his sly, dry and sometimes off color or off the wall humor. I miss having our sometimes long phone conversations and emails. But most of all i miss his loving and caring but sometimes even stern guidance and understanding. I sometimes ponder conversations we've had and reflect on advice given. It always ends with our last phone call and the last words he spoke to me.... "I love You, Nephew". I responded "Love You Too, Edutsi. We'll talk again soon.
Sometimes i wonder if he knew we would never speak again.
I'll see you at the Sky Cantina, Edutsi. You're buying.

I know he touched many lives here on this forum in various places and on others. Please post a remembrance, a quote, a story or what have you in memorium of him. At some point i will likely end up including this in the link library and stickying it, so that he can take his place with Rusty and Uncle Bill.
