Eddy Charlip

In part of his youth, he lived in Pride of Judea, a children’s home in Brooklyn. From there we can already see how Eddy saw the world differently. He saw it as a positive experience. He was never ashamed or regretful of those days. He later joined the army and after returning home, it was there he met his future wife, Roslyn. After a short three month courtship, they married. In his last job as a payroll manager, where he said he felt like Santa Claus when giving out the paychecks. It was evident here how Eddy enjoyed making people happy. Eddy loved playing video games, especially RPG games. After a fall which injured his ankle, Eddy spent some time as a patient in Shulman and Schachne Rehabilitation Institute. After being released from there, he wanted to give back to others. He volunteered there and spread his joy to the patients. His main goal in life was to make people happy...whether he was telling them a joke or he was just being generous. If you told him you loved a movie, he would make a copy of the movie for you. Eddy always tried to remain positive through his life. He believed everything happens for a reason and he liked to look at life through rose colored glasses, always trying to see the good in things. Even when he was diagnosed with cancer, he always remained positive and hopeful... even when doctors told him the cancer would never be gone...he still believed he could beat it. He always remained the eternal optimist.

Eddy is survived by his wife of 53 years, Roslyn. His children, Allan Charlip, Tracy Charlip Bianchi, and Debby Charlip, his son-in-law, Daniel Bianchi, his grandchildren, Michael, Jaime, Samuel, Anna and Benjamin, his brother, Herman Charlip and his sister, Rita Warnick. As well as everyone who loved him
