Here is a picture of young Ed Chaput on the deck of the mighty Edmund Fitzgerald Back in 1958!
I'm sure he shared this one here before with you all.

I hadn’t heard this news. I am sorry to hear of his passing, Leon. Please accept my condolences. I met him a few times over the years at various Boatnerd functions, & I always appreciated his kindness & wit. May he rest in peace.

Thanks again for letting me share this with His community! He loved the camaraderie that you all shared here. He spent his last years with all of you and it made him so happy to share stories with everyone here. Thanks for sharing him with us as this was his Favorite site.
You know we could never hear enough about the Edmund Fitzgerald. His articles will live on, as well as his memory!

A very moving and touching photo and scene there and thanks so very much for sharing your photos and memories with us today of our dear departed friend EddyFitz. He will be dearly missed here on this board and I don't recall but surely I must have seen and met him at least once maybe at a Marine Mart in St. Clair or Port Huron? He was a dear friend and a good and great person along with a contributor here on this forum. I always enjoyed his post and comments. Now, he is up in boatnerd heaven and watching all of the passing ship traffic and maybe even seeing a new Fitzgerald as well. 3 Long and 2 Short EddyFitz and may God Bless you as you will be missed! I also visit the Lady Pirate bench at times up in Port Huron and think about our dear departed friend Lady Pirate and Violet and how she loved her George A. Stinson. Rest in peace to all of our departed boatnerd friends! Your memories live on.

We had a great memorial service for EddyFitz (Chaput) at the Fitz anchor site on Belle Isle this week. He will be forever watching the ships sail by along the Detroit River as they head on up to the Great U.P. he loved so much.
Thanks for all your visits with him throughout the years on this and the Boatnerd sites. You all became his friends as he was able to share his memories and times with!
He will be missed by all that knew him!
Bye Dad,
Leon Chaput and family.

In Memory of EddyFitz
