Many condolences to the Correa family. I was shocked to hear of Edwin’s demise. I met Edwin when I was a Marine NJROTC instructor at Northern High School. He and I talked about boxing and other subjects. He shared a video of his father with me. He was very well-mannered and good natured. By coincidence I met his sister Marisol on the set of “House of Cards”. It was a pleasure meeting her and talking about Edwin. Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I’ll keep the Correa family in my prayers.
