Jacob Save on Ed Rudnick
Ed was a wonderful guy. He really had a talent for bringing people together and loved doing
big productions. Whether it was one of his infamous halloween parties, with technical gadgetry
everywhere making creepy halloween effects, or helping with the E-mu parties, it usually involved
people, teamwork, and community. Even in death, Ed could still bring people together. While at
his memorial, we saw people we hadn’t seen in years, lots of ex E-mu people and family. I wish we
could have all reunited under happier circumstances, but it was very touching to see so many whose
lives Ed had touched in some way. When I go to heaven I hope I can sit at his table.
-Edward Jacob Save
To all the people who’ve supported us over the years, we’d just like to say thanks and we love you!

A Great Treasure
I met Ed in the fall of 1996 when I first started working for E-mu. In addition to the E-mu
gear that I already owned, I had just become the proud owner of a Darwin 8-track hard disk
recorder. And Ed was the go-to guy for information, bug fixes, etc. When I needed a special cable,
Ed would help. When I had a bug to report, Ed would make sure it got fixed.
Over the years, my friendship with Ed grew. He helped me pick out new hardware for my
drum set that we keep in the studio. He came over and recorded drums for me. He gave me a
studio microphone. He brought over his robot “Skull” for our Halloween party. And it seemed that
every time I thanked him for all the things he had done for me, he would humbly say that he hadn't
done anything that it was he who should be thanking me. I never really understood that, but I
guess that was just Ed.
Ed, you really are special, and this world has lost a great treasure with your passing. Thank
you for being my friend all these years.
-Tom Savell
Edward Crawford Rudnick
Age 59. Born September 26, 1948, Sacramento California, died
April 6, 2008, Ben Lomond, California. Loving husband of Lisa
Rudnick, and devoted father of Kyle Rudnick and the late Timothy
Rudnick of Ben Lomond, California. Cherished son of Martin E.
Rudnick and the late Julia E. Rudnick of San Jose, California. Beloved
brother of Natalie Boggs of Eugene, Oregon and Marty Rudnick of San
Jose, California.
Ed grew up in San Jose, California. He received his elementary and
middle school education at the school of the Lutheran Church of Our
Savior, where he was confirmed in the Lutheran Faith. Thereafter, he
graduated with honors from Cupertino High School. In his early youth he
displayed an extraordinary aptitude for science, technology, and music.
By age 12 he was building radios, and as a high school sophomore, he
performed in the Santa Clara County Honor Band. He was considered
one of the top drummers in the area, an interest that led him to join the
Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps, and during different periods with the Vanguard, he
performed expertly on drums, contrabass, mellophone, served as an instructor and remained active
as an alumnus and avid supporter. Continued on next page

Edward Crawford Rudnick, 1948-2008
Continued from previous page
After graduating from Cupertino High School in 1966, Ed attended Foothill College and San Jose
State University, where he majored in Electronics and Music. At the time, he also worked as a
manager at Moyer Music in Santa Clara, where his interest in synthesizers and electronic music led to
a chance meeting with the founders of E-MU Systems, who recognized his technical abilities, and
asked him to join the young company.
Over the succeeding years, he became a key contributor to E-MU's growth into America's premier
producer of innovative electronic musical instruments. Ed was personally involved in the
conceptualization and development of technologies and instruments that literally revolutionized the
way that music is created by both professionals and amateurs around the world. The legacy of those
accomplishments lives on today and will no doubt do so for years to come.
He remained an esteemed and respected member of the E-MU family for over 30 years, where he
was fondly known as "Uncle Ed". In recent years, he continued his life-long tradition of contribution
to the advancement of audio technology as a key member of Sonic Focus Inc., of Lake Tahoe,
California.
Among his many other interests were photography and astronomy. He also loved hiking, and the
great outdoors, pyrotechnics and an endless number of pursuits. Everything he did, he did with
passion, excellence, and expert knowledge, yet he loved nothing
more than spending time with his family, as a devoted husband and
father. This past December, Ed and Lisa celebrated their 25th
wedding anniversary.
His life was devastated in September 2005 when his beloved
son Tim passed away, and then three months later Ed was rushed to
the hospital for emergency surgery when his kidney burst due to a
cancerous tumor. But as was his nature, he battled both tragedy and
illness with unflagging courage, strength and character. In his life,
Ed was blessed with a legion of dedicated friends and relatives, so
many of whom have shown tremendous love and support, and for
that, his family is endlessly grateful.
A funeral service and celebration of Ed's life was held at 1 PM
on Thursday April 10th, 2008 at Messiah Lutheran Church in Santa
Cruz, CA. Donations may be made to Santa Clara Vanguard
Scholarship Fund, 1795 Spacepark Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95054.

Paying Tribute to a ‘Great Tradition’
101 Year Old Marathon Man
Reuters
Mar 5, 2008 11:47 am EST
LONDON - Already Britain's
oldest employee, 101-year-old
Buster Martin now aims to
become the world's oldest
marathon runner by completing
the London Marathon and
celebrating with a pint of beer and
Buster Martin, age 101
a cigarette.
Sprightly and bearded, he completed a half marathon at the
weekend in five hours 13 minutes (It would have been faster, he
says, but he says he stopped for a beer and a cigarette. ). The former
Army physical training instructor works three days a week for a
London plumbing firm and says he has trained for the April 13th
race in his spare time.
Martin, who had 17 children and returned to work at the age of
99 saying he was bored after two years of retirement, would beat
the record for oldest marathon runner by eight years.
“If I finish, I'll do what I always do and have a pint and a fag,” he
said. “People ask what is my secret but I haven't got one. They say
fags & booze are bad for you but I'm still here, aren't I?”
*Note: “Fag” is English slang for cigarette.
