Sad news
 

Ed Costa, known here as Slow Eddie passed away of a heart attack yesterday or the day before.

You will be missed Ed. :(

That is terrible news. I met him 2 years ago in Gansett and fished with him a few times last year during some great fall run action. He was a great guy and I always looked foward to bumping into him and talking about fishing.
Rest in peace Ed.

Sad news thanks for letting us know.

What a shame. A good friend and a good old 'gee... lots of laughs, even though it was usually him joking about living in my house and chasing after my wife :-D

Few people truly enjoyed the simple act of bending a rod, size, species, didn't matter.

You will be missed Eddie!

Ed was probably my greatest mentor in surfcasting. I always jokingly called him my spiritual advisor. And will miss his frequent check ins at my studio to talk about women, chorizo and women and fishing. This one hurts.

Slow Eddie was one of the outwardly happiest go lucky blue haired skirt chasing anglergentlemen you would find. He was truly a gem of a guy. Godspeed Ed. I'm gonna miss your zeal for the suds & your humor

Me too.

Deep hole at Deep Hole. Too bad.

Eben my deepest condolences to you as you guys were such good friends. Also to his family on their loss. I was fortunate to meet Slow Eddie out on Cuttyhunk a couple of times.......he was a super nice guy, great to chat with and I am glad I got to meet him. Rest in peace Eddie.

Great picture! I'm sure that's how he'd want to be remembered.

RIP. I'm sure he's found a perch somewhere...

Thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones. Rest in peace.

I met him last Fall. When I pulled up to his house to buy a rod from him, he ran out to the street and pulled my dog out through the window of my truck. I parked and walked over to his house. He was helping Annie find a pork bone that was near his basement door. They were already friends and didn't need me at all.

He was a really nice guy. I was hoping to fish with him this Summer. Rest In Peace Eddie.

RIP Eddie... a real nice guy.
