His hobbies and interests included needle pointing, reading, spending time at Lake Norman with family and friends, collecting and cutting rocks and geodes, and helping and adopting a variety of pets and animals throughout his years. Above everything else, Eddie's family and friends came first. He is survived by his wife, Shirley Clein Goodman, three children, Teri Goodman Moffett and husband, Mark Moffett, Philip Goodman, and Brett Goodman, all of Charlotte, his sister and brother-in-law, Boots and Kenard Strauss of Atlanta, GA, and his sister-in-law, Honey Clein Workman, and husband, Howard Workman of Atlanta, GA. He is also survived by his five grandchildren, Rebecca and Alexis Moffett, and Seth, Hannah, and Jacob Goodman, all of Charlotte. He will also be missed by Leigh Anne Freeston, many nieces and nephews, and his extended family, friends and neighbors. A graveside service will be held at 11:00am Sunday, January 20th, at the Hebrew Cemetery.
