"Uncle Eddie" was such a big part of many fond memories from my youth. Weekends of fishing, crabbing (and crab boils) in Leeville and Grand Isle; "floundering" from Forchon Road; then more of all of it, again, with get togethers at the Lake Catherine camp. His love of that lifestyle was contagious. Uncle Eddie was always patient with us and seemed unflappable to me. I'm saddened to hear of his passing and know he'll be missed by those who knew him.
