With his parents, he bought the Sail Inn Restaurant in Prospect, and worked there and at Grenci and Ellis Stone Shed, two jobs he carried for many years. In 1998, with family and friends, a celebration of 50 years of operation of the Sail Inn was held. Governor Angus King, his wife, Mary, and motorcycle friends, joined the festivities, adding to a fun day. Throughout the years, there was always time for family activities, including teaching his sons to hunt and fish and enjoy the Maine woods. School functions were always attended by at least one parent while the other worked at 'The Inn'. During these years, Eddie's wonderful voice brought enjoyment to many. He performed for many benefits in the area and also tried his hand at amateur shows, many of which he won. An offer to go to New York to try his luck at the 'big time' was turned down due to obligations at home. His voice was natural gift from God, as he had no formal training and could listen to a song and learn the words and tunes. He was a member of the Sandy Point Congregational Church and a 25-year member of Felicity Lodge Masons of Bucksport. Besides his family and his work, one of Eddie's great loves was his involvement with the Knights of Pythias Lodge. He joined at the McKinley Lodge, Prospect, and later the Colonel Brewer Lodge, Brewer. Starting in 1951 as a Knight and going on to become Grand Chancellor for the State of Maine, 1985-1986, past Supreme Lodge representative, Deputy Supreme Chancellor. His love of the remembered by all who heard him do an installation or a part in degree work. He took great pride doing this all from memory. One of the highlights of his lodge time was receiving the award of the 'Golden Spur, presented to a Knight for outstanding work in and for the organization. The lodge work and travel gave him the opportunity to make many new friends in the States as well as Canada, especially the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Daughters of Egypt - No mention of the Knights is complete without speaking of the Sisters. Eddie had the greatest respect for their degree work and counted many of them as close friends. He served as selectman of the Town of Prospect. He enjoyed deer hunting, fishing, horse races, card playing, and amateur singing. Everyone who knew Eddie will remember his smile, firm handshake for the men and hugs and kisses for the ladies. Equally all will remember his favorite question: 'Are you behaving?'

[4501] Evelyn is daughter of William W. Hulin and Faun M. Haines. Ancestry.com offers: "Hulin Name Meaning - English (Gloucestershire): from a pet form of the personal name Hugh. French: from a pet form of Hue (see Hugh). French: from a reduced form of Hudelin, a double diminutive of the personal name Hude (see Houde). Possibly Swedish: from an unidentified first element + the common ornamental suffix -(l)in."
[36416] This person is from the unverified "John's Family Tree" in Ancestry.com in 2014. Ancestry.com offers: "Ridley Name Meaning - English: habitational name from any of various places in England so named, especially the one in Northumberland, which, like that in Cheshire, is derived from Old English geryd channel + leah wood, clearing. Those in Essex and Kent appear in Domesday Book as Retleia and Redlege respectively, and get their names from Old English hreod reed + leah. Possibly also an altered spelling of German Riedel or Riedler (see Ridler)."
