In Memory of Ed
Clendenin, CPP
By Dave Parker, ASSIST Vice President
ASSIST and the security profession have suffered a great loss with the passing of Ed Clendenin in June 2004. Ed was a member of the Houston region and a great contributor to our efforts, particularly in the area of consulting. We will always remember Ed for his �original� thoughts.
Ed was not only active, and held office with ASSIST, he held lifetime memberships with ASIS International and the International Association of Professional Security Consultants. Ed was also a member of the Board of Directors of the IAPSC.
We knew Ed as the President of Losses Limited, Inc., but he spent five years with the Harris County Sheriffs� Department, and over twenty-one years in retail loss prevention. He was also a security manager for AT&T and SBC for over 15 years. Throughout his career, Ed has been a guest lecturer with the Houston Police Academy, the University of Houston Criminal Justice Center, and for both the Houston and Pasadena Independent school districts.
A District Court Judge once said of Ed, �I had some reservations as to whether he was going to meet the Daubert-Robinson test as an expert, but the further I went, my goodness, it would be hard to find anybody more of an expert than that fellow in this field.�
Our deepest sympathies go out to his dear wife Trudy, and the Clendenin family.
Ed and his wife Trudy.
