Hello family of Mr. Podsaid,
We’re sorry for your loss. Although we did not know him, we bought a 100 yr old cabin in Wilmington, NY took it apart and reconstructed it in Elizabethtown, NY. It’s been a family project with my husband, now 20 yr old son and myself for past few years. This weekend we worked on the interior and my husband came upon a probably jack-knifed carving in one of the walls, reading “Pat Podsaid, 1952 Syracuse, NY. We took a photo and didnt apply stain over it. It adds character to our one room cabin in the woods of the Adirondacks. After reading Mr. Podsaid’s obituary, he sounds like a fine of a man, as was my father who passed away a few years ago, at age 91. We think both fathers had kindred spirits. If you want a photo of the carving in our log cabin, pls. contact me: Leslie Egglefield Brownell, Lake Placid, NY via e-mail: [email protected].
Best to all.
