Chef Edwards' in Oakland is closed. Does anyone have the Chef's contact #?

Hey Oakland hounds,

I was sad to hear from multiple sources that Chef Edwards' BBQ near the Greyhound station has closed its doors. Does anyone have a way of contacting John Edwards directly? Apparently he had left a cell number on his answering machine, along with a declaration that he will continue to cater, but the line is now disconnected.

I'm hoping to interview the good chef for a story (and sincerely hoping that the joint didn't close because his health took an unfortunate turn). If you can put me in touch, your help would be very much appreciated.
