Sorry to hear the sad news, Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends!!!

Really sad to read this. Seemed like a good guy. Sorry Bry and Eben. I know Tyler will be sad to read this as well..

Very sad to hear. He was great guy. He gave me a guided tour of Gansett one day and brought me to a secret clamcake place and showed me some of his favorite spots. That was a great day. RIP

RIP Eddie, condolonces to his family and friends

very sad to hear, my thoughts go out to his friends and family. Always seemed like a cool guy

RIP Eddie

I met him a few times on Cutty. Great guy who seemed to really enjoy life. I hope I'm getting this right, but I remember him telling me about a bait shop he had in Apponaug, and I lived near there at the time. Rest easy.

You're right. Owning a bait shop in Apponaug is one of the several things Eddie did during his lifetime. He ended his years living on Pt. Judith in Narragansett where he'll be greatly missed by the local surfcasters.

Commercial striped bass pin hooker as a kid, Army sniper in Vietnam, manager of the ocean mist, truck driver, tackle shop owner, co owner of a antique consignment store, antique dealer, and general junk man... He fascinated me.
His father was a surf caster as well and died from being swept off the east wall.. They found his body the next spring on Scarborough beach. Ed was one in a million.

Just found out today - shocked and saddened, and yet so glad to have had the honour to have met him and for the time to spend in his company, whether casting or conversing.

So many fond memories; his humour, the brit/gee conversations, and he taught me so much. A large part of my daughters' education of fishing came from him.

Take care, my friend, and thank you. I will see you in the surf.

You are missed.
