Ed Wadas

Has spent seven decades of his life giving of his time to local athletics in Whitesboro, Whitestown, Marcy, Deerfield, New York Mills and Oriskany.
Possessed a “magic bag” that was stocked with what seemed to be whatever a player, coach, official, volunteer, or fan may ever need including towels, pens, pencils, trash bags, carbon paper (!), gum, flash lights, etc..
His generous doling out of M&Ms and caramels resulted in a new, everlasting nickname – “The Candy Man.”
Whitesboro Central School’s athletic complex is named in his honor, as are the Wrestling Tournament and the Basketball Tournament.
Simply known as “Uncle Ed;” the one man everyone is always able to count on for anything and everything.
