Eduvigis Reyes's name was too big for him so everyone called him Eddie. He was a 5-foot, 4-inch wisecracking Mets fan who spent his working life in the paperwork sector of the shipping industry and loved wrestling, bowling and beer.
"He was a happy-go-lucky guy, always had a smile on his face," said his friend and former boss Max Reyes, no relation. "Many times he was the joke of the party."
Mr. Reyes, 37, was close to his three daughters, who split their time between his house in Richmond Hill, Queens, and their mother's in Brooklyn. Over the summer, Max Reyes stopped by Eddie's, just before Eddie started a new job at Rohde & Liesenfeld in the World Trade Center, and there were Eddie and his 13-year-old, Tiffany, dressed in matching Wrestlemania T-shirts.
Eddie could be a bit of a troublemaker, Max Reyes said. "But for all that he was, you needed a favor, he'd do it for you."
For Eddie's memorial, his older sister Ida Santiago wrote a eulogy. "I will never hear him call me R2D2 or Chia Pet," it said. "I will always want that pain in the neck back. I lost my buddy who kept me going."
To the entire Reyes family I know that time will never make it any easier for your lose in that tragic day. But know that even after 20 years I still get up to see Eddie´s name read out loud. He left a mark on us all that will never be forgotten. I miss the stoop ball games, the wiffle ball games and the jokes and big smile he always shared. May he rest in eternal peace.

Our deepest heartfelt sympathy we send to your family. There are no words sent that will ever remove the deep pain. With each new day may God give the strength and help needed. Eddie will always be fondly remembered and not forgotten.
