I am sorry to hear of Eddie’s death. My mother always said he was the nicest person she had ever met. I think that’s probably true, and he was also one of the truly great ski instructors. For me personally, Eddie shared everything he knew about skiing and it made my life better and happier. That’s a real gift. He found a way to teach powder skiing to the normal recreational skier where it had been more the reserve of the serious athlete. He boiled down technique to its basics (early pole, counter rotation.…) so people could learn to ski any slope even if they weren’t young and strong - and with kindness and calm support helped even the most fearful to succeed. Quite the feat before skis evolved to make skiing so much easier. He is missed, and our thoughts are with the Morris family, where he will be missed most of all.

Kathy, Tim and John, I've been thinking of all of you and Eddie over the past several days. I remember Eddie teaching me to ski and to not be afraid to point my skis straight down the powder slope to begin my turn. As you all know, Eddie meant so much to my mother. I thank all of you for taking her in and accepting her into your lives. (Kathy, thank you so much for your call. I don't have your phone number, so I couldn't call you back). My thoughts remain with all of you. Cassie

What a shock to learn of Eddie’s passing. I haven’t been able to find the words to tell you how deeply sad I am to hear of it. Eddie will never pass away, as there are far too many people who will keep his memory alive. But he surely has left a vacancy in the world. He had a strong presence, and a marvelous smile that lit up his eyes. When Bill died suddenly, a friend shared how she had dealt with the sudden emptiness in her life. She said that she packaged up all the happy memories in her mind with a beautiful bow and put them in a special place where she could take them out on occasion to treasure them. I am sending you and your family deep hugs and love – Eddie will be remembered with great fondness, and appreciation of what a great instructor he was. Mimi Levitt
