Edward J. "Eddie" Moylan

I happened to think about Eddie recently remembering so fondly the many chats we had in my office in the squash courts about everything from coaching philosophy to baseball to tennis to his serving in WWII & just life in general. We laughed & he always made my day. I remember on a road trip buying him a pair of Bass penny loafers that were on sale that I knew he would love. Sure enough Eddie was so happy I bought those for him. They were almost 2 sizes too big but he said he would just wear...

I would just like to say that I remember Eddie from the River Oaks Invitational days back in the 50´s. I thought he was about the most handsome man I ever saw. And his groundstrokes were a thing of beauty. I was only 14 years old and played the women´s event they had and my dad, George Richey, introduced me to him. I was bug eyed at all the great players and particularly Eddie because I was a baseliner too! Glad I found this page..didn´t realize he had been the pro at Piping Rock..I won a...

Hard to believe it's been that long since coach died. Remembering him brings back a host of fond memories of coach from 1962 - 1966 when he coached tennis & squash. I still remember and tell some of his stories.

I remember Eddie as a very young man. We lived next door to him in Trenton, N.J. on Edgewood Ave.He would play with his tennis racquet hitting the ball against a garage door behind his house. His red headed mother would invite me at the age of 7 to eat fried tomatoes . Eddie was 10 years old at the time. He was always a good looking guy and well liked during his life. I remember his older brother John as well. Great family the Moylans.

I was very shocked to find out that Eddie passed away. The reason I happened to look him up was because I hadn't received the Christmas letter that I had gotten for the part 50 years. Eddie and I dated in the late '50/ and then we became lifelong friends. He was also one of my brother Les Longshore's best friends. He was a wonderful friend, very funny and kind. I am very sad to hear of his passing. I will miss him.

I played college tennis and squash at Cornell when Eddie Moylan coached both teams. Besides being a terrific tennis player in the late 1940s and 1950s, "Coach" was smart, funny, anecdotal, opinionated, and inspiring. We stayed friends and corresponded in subsequent years. He was a wonderful person in so many ways, and he'll be greatly missed by his many friends and admirers.

So many memories about this incredible man.He coached us in tennis and squash at the end of the sixties. I learned so much from him--by how he carried himself.How to think under adversity, how to marshal your resources under stress, how to think your way past a better athlete, how to prepare yourself and never be surprised.Lessons for a lifetime.

Most of all, I'll remember the tremendous pride he took in being an elite athlete. He tried to transmit that pride to us and make it part of...

My uncle, Eddie , I was named after, was a very kind man to me and my family here in Texas, will never forget his handsomeness, via my wife,s comment. I didn't,t get to see him much as I was growing up,,, but he had a knack of always checking on us and never forgot us so far away. We will miss him very much. Wish we were contacted about his funeral... Nephew Edward Moylan and wife Robin Moylan of Amarillo, tx.

Ed was a very special friend. I coached the women's tennis team, when he was the men's coach. Also played many games of squash with him, where he would run me all over the place with such ease and grace.
I just found out about his passing, and I am deeply saddened. I will miss our conversations, and our little bets, he the Yankees vs. my Red Sox. Ed, you were a wonderful friend.
