Edward loved fishing, woodworking, dancing, and traveling. Eddie also enjoyed snowmobiling and at one time was an avid member of the Trailblaizers Snowmobile Club in Wells, Maine. He and his wife, Annette, made the move to Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1972 where they resided for 41 years and then decided it was time to come home to their roots and returned to Maine.

Eddie loved seafood and always enjoyed our many trips to Newick's for steam clams and lobster, and Windjammers for fried smelts. He would top it off with an ice cream at Strafford Farms. He was always a guest for a Thanksgiving spread at Rene and Luanne Cardinals, a day he truly enjoyed. It was always a busy time when family arrived for a visit from Hawaii, he loved seeing them. Eddie was a happy man, and loved life. We were blessed to have had him in our lives.
