Remembering my Friend Edgar H. Sarte

Remembering Edgar H. Sarte


he would have been 66 in real time today. those who knew him would understand what real time meant. he was a very good friend.


i still have his old cellphone number - and he passed away in 2003. a day before Christmas eve. i was at the office - in the middle of an office Christmas party - when i found out. i couldnt believe it. so i called his number, knowing that someone close to him would answer.

he gave many IT lessons. a lot of them both technical and financial.
i had known him for more than 20 years! we met when i was at my first job - in Makati.
a company i didnt even apply to - they had seen my name in UP's list of honor graduates.


i remember the gifts i had sent him through the years.
i had given him a book in the 80s... which he never got to read until year 2000.
as i said then, at least he got to read them and liked them .... even if it was more than several years later.


i shall think of him tonight.

edit:  those of you who love my friend Ed who want to know more about him, i will be periodically posting stuff i remember. just follow the label EHS
