The virtues of a fisherman:
When asked if there is a way to know the heart of a man I would say to go fishing with him. Because it is there in the quiet and beauty of nature that he will reveal his inner self.
Whether standing shoulder to shoulder along a peaceful lake or pond or yards away from each other in a fast moving torrent of water, the fisherman shares his true identity.
He accepts the challenge and enjoys the victory of the catch and revels in it's spoils , or he experiences the temporary misfortune of not catching a single thing and yet comes back with fervor and pure optimism to try again another day.
To respect nature and all it's beauty and be thankful for what God has given us. To play by the rules, to be fair and never take more than needed by returning the wildlife to nature.
Ed had all of these virtues and more which he carried over into everyday life as a family man. He was my cousin, but he was also a fisherman who I had the opportunity to fish with on several occasions and observe and share in his beliefs and principles .as we enjoyed God's natural landscape and adventure.
I would like to tell a funny story about Ed . As we were entering the Schoharie Stream in the Catskills on a fishing trip,Ed stopped short and said ‘Wait a minute Pat, I have to take a picture. “ And I said” but Ed we haven't caught any fish yet... “ and as I was finishing the statement, Ed all ready had the camera out and was taking pictures of the beautiful landscape and stream around us......And I suddenly realized by seeing this that it isn't the results at the end of the day, but rather it's the attention we give to everything around us and everyone around us and appreciate it with sincerity and respect while we are here - which was true to form with Ed . He truly appreciated everything that God had given him and I am thankful to have known such a man. I will miss him.

Eddie was a big part of my life, my big brother and my son's Godfather. I will always remember the great times that we had together as brother and sister. He would playfully tease me all the time and I wouldn't have it any other way. I looked up to him, he was a great person, and if my son is even half the man that Eddie was I will be the proudest Mom in the world!
Eddie, I will miss you. Rest in peace. I love you.

After the funeral today, we went back to the house and shared some memories of Eddie. I took a moment to visit Eddie's hobby room, noticing the vacant space that he once occupied. I remembered how excited he would be showing me his latest projects and explaining to me how he wanted to build the landscape for his trains. He took so much pride in what he did and really enjoyed his hobbies much like how a young child reacts to a new toy. There were a couple of projects in there that he was still working on, now he'll never get to finish. I will miss you dearly Eddie.
