Not sure what to say?

I'm so sorry to hear of Captain Ed's passing.
Several of my family members went on a fishing charter with him in June of 2021. They had the best time and caught so many fish. I didn't go that day but the ones that went had so many great things to say about Captain Ed and all the deckhands on board.
He helped so many families make great memories while visiting Pensacola.
Praying for his family and friends. May he rest in peace

Ginny, Ben, & Family, So sad we didn't get to see y'all at Eddie's ceremony nor the ashes to the reef event. Still, thinking of you and sending huge hugs! With Sincerest Condolences, Teresa Markham& Craig Walker

So sad to hear about Captain Ed Lively’s passing. It’s been a while since we last went out fishing with the Captain but he was the best. His passion to putting you on fish, going the extra mile, and treating you with respect (as long as you keep the pole off the gunwale side). A true professional and will be surely missed by all. I’m sure there will be plenty of great stories at his memorial. Prayers to the family and rest in peace, Captain Ed Lively.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Eddie's passing my deepest condolences go out to Ginny, Emily and Ben and Joyce !!

My condolences to Ed's family.
We fished with Ed every year for nearly a decade. We were saddened to hear of his passing, he was just a great human being. Ed will be missed.

We were so sad about Eddie’s sudden passing. Love and peace to Ginny, Ben and Emily.

I was so saddened to hear about Eddie’s passing. My heart goes out to Ginny, his family and his many friends and customers who loved him dearly. Some of the best and most fun memories of my life were made while deckhanding on the Lively One II! I will never forget his laughter when I was trying to reel in a big fish or trying to keep working while I was sea sick. He was such a nice guy and I had so much respect for him for following his dream. Much love!

Eddie had a smile for miles and lived the life many would dream of. I could only imagine the amazing stories of this "Legend Captain Eddie" and his passion he shared with so many. My heart goes out to Ginny, the family, friends & the entire fishing community.

Bobby Wiedeman was known as "the shark boy"!! Everyone would be catching and he would be struggling with a shark every time. I enjoyed several trips on the Lively One and the fish box was always full! My condolences to all...

Oh Ginny, Sincerest Condolences. God Bless You & Ben & all
