I'll always remember my brother, Eddie, as having a very "sweet" personality. He was always quick to smile and quick with his little jokes and "comebacks"! He didn't have a "mean" bone in his body, as the saying goes. There was never a cross word between us. He's earned his reward in heaven. We'll miss you and Rita, Eddie. We love you both.
