Edward A. Fabritius

Eddie retired from SUNY Fredonia in 2011 as head grounds supervisor. He attended Silver Creek School. He loved the outdoors and in his earlier years worked for local farmers and in greenhouses in the Sheridan area. Eddie enjoyed camping at Sheridan Bay and playing softball. He also worked the playing fields for the Buffalo Bills Training Camp during the glory days.

During his retirement years, you could find him walking downtown Fredonia and adjoining areas daily regardless of the weather. He took much pride in his lawn care and home gardening talent.

He was affectionately known as uncle "E" by his nieces and nephews.
