He could usually be found having lunch at Mandich Restaurant a short walk from his business. Edwin enjoyed all the finer things of life. The Silver Fox was well dressed, a good dancer, meticulous, charismatic, charming, generous and loving. He played billiards winning an occasional trophy. He was very sociable, maybe a little too much. He liked the horses at the race track and gambled in Las Vegas. He was a good provider and a dutiful Catholic, bringing his children to church every Sunday. He had a very full life until he had a stroke at the age of 55. He had a wonderful imagination with no limits that thrived until the end, telling very tall tales. He was a great dad and he will forever be missed.
