I knew Eddie at a very young age as we lived across the hall in frome each other in the Willowbrook apartments from 1964 to 1967. I was almost 4 years older but we were friends. Most of my memories are of that small and cute kid with the wide smile and kind eyes. Always happy and genial. Life is too short knowing he is now gone.

Querida Sarita: en estos momentos no puedo encontrar palabras justas que te ayuden a superar este triste dolor; pero si te sirve de consuelo en algo mis humildes letras, te hago saber que nos ha dolido muchisimo esta inesperada perdida de tu adorado hijo. Nos unimos a tu pesar y le rogamos a Dios todopoderoso que lo acoja como un Angel mas de su Corte y que tu sepas que todos los que te queremos te apoyaremos en todo momento. Lamentamos mucho no poder estar junto a Ustedes pero nuestras oraciones y pensamientos estan hoy y siempre contigo y Rigo.
Un abrazo fuerte,
Lorenzo, Lupe y Kristina Trujillo

Dear Ed, even though I haven't seen you since 1997, I will always remember your big smile and being so helpful to me when I came to BWI and started working on the ticket counter. You were a great guy and a great friend, you'll be missed by many. God bless you.

Though I never acually met Eddie, I felt as though I knew him from phone conversations on my sister Patti's behalf. His long time love and loyalty to her were unmistakable. Even now, I thank you and pray you're at peace.

Dear Sarita, My sincerest condolences on the sudden loss of your beloved Son. Our friend Johnny Hancock called me just a few minutes ago with the difficult and sad news. I remember meeting Eduardo and know that he was a fine man who was loved by many. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Tom Dunn

I only had the pleasure of meeting Eddie a couple of times, but I felt much closer to him because of the wonderful stories his loving Mother would share with me. My heart goes out to Sarita and Rigo and I pray for their comfort during this most difficult time.
With all my love.
Kevin

¡Eduarditooooooooo viejo! Mi gran hermano... Always with a smile and an example of a good son and friend. Your love for your mom was inspiring and your love for "nuestro querido Rigo" made me so happy to know that after 28 years with Rigo you and I were going to share for at least that long. La vida que me llevó a mi hermano de tu edad en noviembre ahora te lleva a ti: entiendo que es porque estabas listo para la próxima fase. Te voy a extrañar mi hermano... El cielo es un día más feliz porque tú estás allí. Gracias por tu amistad, cariño, sonrisa y amor, COL Jaime Areizaga-Soto

You will be missed 'Miiiister' Ed, as our sons David and Aaroncito called you. You always had a smile and time to chat. It was a pleasure coming to the barbershop. There's an emptiness on the block. God bless you.

You always brought a smile to my face, Eddie. The first time I met you was on a beach in the Bahamas in the 80's and from that moment on, you were a joy to be around. I am so glad I got to spend a week with you this past January on the cruise with family and friends. You are gone too soon, my friend. My deepest condolences to your wonderful mom, Rigo and the rest of your amazing family. You were truly loved and I am blessed to have been a part of your life. Rest in peace, sweet Eddie. You will be loved and remembered forever.

He was always so kind and patient no matter what anyone presented to him . He was an amazing guy and cannot beleive he is gone from us to soon. He will forever be in the hearts of his US Airways family. Our hearts are saddened but our great loss.

Eddie was a perfect example of a best friend. I have known Eddie from USAIR/Piedmont since 1984. He was one half of my two most special friends in this life..now they are together. Both gone from our life as we know it at age 55. I am forever blessed to have known Eddie and will treasure the memories.

Ed not only gave me an awesome haircut, he shared his life's story with me, including his love for Cuban food, especially ropa vieja. You were a treasure, Eduardo.
My deepest sympathies to your Mom and Rigo.

Ed. You were more than a barber to many of us; you were a confidant, a friend, and sometimes a confessor. Appointments with you were like meetings with a trusted counselor; with the end of a session becoming an excellent hair cut and a soul at peace. I will miss you fried, rest in peace.

Ed, you were much, much more than a barber. You were a friend to all of us - no matter how well you knew us. Godspeed, and we'll see you on the other side.

Dear Friend,
You will be missed greatly. Many a time I could pick up the phone and we would just carry on like no time had passed at all. That is a rare thing these days and I will miss it. You will always be in our thoughts.

I write this note in total disbelief. I can't believe you are gone Ed. You were such a kind gentle soul that everyone loved and admired. I am in my 38th year of patronage at Georgetown Hairstyling and was planning on bringing my 19 month old to continue the tradition with you. I will miss our conversations about the world and talks about your dogs, boats and projects. God Bless you.

No. No. NO.

Ed... too soon. Too Soon. TOO SOON.

May your soul be at peace, sir. You were too good for this world, but just right for the next. I will miss you, and will never forget, so long as I draw breath.

My dear cousin - mi primo Eduardito - is how I knew you as a little boy. I always looked up to you and admired you greatly. You were generous, kind, gentle and just wicked enough to make the good times even better. You were there for all of us in the family in our hour of need. No matter how much physical distance there was between us I always knew I could count on you. Now you've gone and we are all terribly saddened. But rest assured - I will never forget you and will always treasure the good times we shared and the love you showed me! May you rest in peace! Que en paz descanses mi querido primo!

There was no brighter star, no bigger smile and no sweeter heart than our dear Ed. He was what most strive to be, unforgettable and loved...and now he is forever our Angel. I hope with all of my heart that you are back in the arms of those you lost that also loved you deeply. I will always have you in my heart.
