My deepest sympathy to the Eddy family. I met Mr. Eddy at Kingsmill when I was in the membership office. It was always a highlight of my day to walk through the restaurant and speak with him and his beloved wife, Joyce. He was a very dear and wonderful man, he will be greatly missed.

My name is Kevin Dry and I was Mr. Eddy's personal trainer for many years at Kingsmill Sports Club. He and I shared many laughs over the years, whether talking about the horses, cars or his beloved family that he cherished. He was a true gentleman and I am grateful for the time and wisdom he shared with me. God bless you Mr. Eddy- I know you're in a better place!
