4. Edward Smolinski (1910-1980)

Edward Smolinski was the youngest child of Helena and Boleslaw Smolinski. Edie and his wife, Sally (Eldridge), also had four children, Thomas, Sandra, Linda and Kathleen. Ed was considered the family handyman. With a little help from relatives, he set out to build his own home at 101 Tarolli Drive., Solvay. It was a work in progress for several years because Ed never ran out of ideas for a little change here, another change there.

One of my favorite memories of Uncle Ed involves a change he made in a family room that originally had been what some call a "mud room" between the garage and the kitchen. He figured, as a family room, something was missing, so he did a slight renovation so that he could put a keg in the garage and have beer on tap on the other side of the wall, by his favorite chair. It was the quintessential Ed.

It may seem strange to remember a relative because he bought beer by the keg instead of the case, but that was just another reminder that Eddie Smolinski was an innovator, a person who could do more things than most, but a person who liked doing them his way. Without him, my mother's family wouldn't have been so interesting.

Such a person needs a patient, understanding and loving mate, and Eddie had one in wife Sally, whose name could finish that well-known commercial jingle line that begins, "Nobody doesn't like ... "
