One day after a competition he was celebrating with friends on the beach when they heard yells coming from the water. Eddie swam out there with his board and gave it to the person who was drowning. The person was able to get back to the shore but Eddie got hit by a wave and drowned. So the saying of "GO, Eddie would" had a strong message to me, that you should help others.
I lost the hat and have never found another, maybe one day I will find one on eBay.

Couldn't you contact the shop in Hawaii and have them send you another one?
I've lost so many things that their stories, and the tale of how they departed, could fill a book. However there is one incident that comes to mind:
I bought a new pair of earrings one day, and I was all excited about them because they were just what I was looking for. I wore them that night when I went out to dinner with my boyfriend. After we ate I went to use the restroom, and just as I stood up and flushed, one of them slipped out of my ear and fell into the toilet! In dismay I watched it get sucked down with the swirling water - there was nothing I could do about it and it was gone. Damn.
