His proudest moments included receiving the perfect shot award in golf at the Iron Horse Golf Course in 1994 and 1997. Eduardo could be found on the golf course well until the distinguished age of 82.

Eduardo renewed his faith in Jehovah and was baptized as a Jehovah's Witness in 1989, shortly after moving to Texas in 1985 from New York.
