Ed Podolak has passed away

[2na]

I’m saddened to report news of Ed’s sudden and unexpected passing. Ed lived in Irvington, NJ, but spent most of his summers at his home in Truro fishing the back beach. One of the last of the old timers (I believe he was in his early 80’s or late 70’s) Ed was not as much a sharpie as a patient gentle man who was still dedicated to fishing sandworms in the wash.That practice earned him a 60 lbr back in the day, a picture of which he proudly carried in his wallet. For years he was a fixture every morning at High Head, his favorite stretch of beach. From the day we met he treated myself and others I know with nothing but kindness and generosity. His presence on the beach will be missed. RIP.
