I first met Eddie at the Washington Park swimming pool back in the day...my friends and I got to know Eddie. He was always smiling, a very sweet and quiet guy. Over the years I would see him from time to time, and he was always sweet and smiling. My sympathy and prayers go out to his friends and family at this time. Eddie, I know you are smiling down on us from heaven.

I did not know him well. But...always smiling, always happy, always pleasant, always friendly. This is how I will remember Eddie.
Eddie, may you run many marathons in Heaven. God Bless You!

Eddie, The hammy should feel fine now and I suspect the gloves are off. Run like you were meant to run while we remain earthly bound. You inspired me to run my best and I will honor that.

I knew Eddie for 17 years. He was, by far, a kind and gentle spirit. He put his heart and soul into everything he did, and never spoke ill of anyone. He had a smile that could melt a glacier! People like Eddie will always be ~ he still runs with God's very best.
