Eddie was a remarkable person. He was very funny. He was a skilled magician. He was kind and inclusive to all. That was a great talent and a blessing to himself and his friends. There is an old Yiddish saying, "The habits we develop in youth are what we follow in old age." Eddie was determined to develop the habit of scholarly excellence and warm good-will to all. As a true tzaddik, he lived the Talmudic rule that everything and everyone, who exists is a means of connecting to an infinite G-d. He assisted everyone that he could with both interactive and financial charity. This is a philosophy which is easy to write, but difficult to live. Eddie made it all seem effortless.
He was totally encouraging of academic pursuits for himself, his family and his friends.
Eddie loved hunting and shooting. He was a New York State Hunting Safety Instructor. He taught many people how to safely handle rifles. He taught them how to score bulls eyes on those nefarious paper targets. He shared the anticipation and joy, of the dawn of a spectacular new day, as experienced from the silence of a tree stand. Listening for the first bird chirps. Enjoying being one with nature from upon high.
In circa 1949, he changed his birth surname of "Iskowitz," to "Ingram."
In 1950, Eddie wed and was blessed with two children,
Eddie passed away at in Long Island Jewish Hospital in New Hyde Park, New York.
