After visiting with Eddie a couple weeks ago, we were surprised to learn just today of Eddie's death. Eddie will be missed as a neighbor. He always had a quick smile and a ready handshake and a treat for the kids. Our condolences to the family.

I and my wife are very sorry to hear of your loss. I am one of the sons of lady (Mary Almus) who lived across the street from Eddie for so many years. I did not know him well but I discovered on many occassions if there was ever a need for a tool Eddie was most happy to dig into his tool box and loan it to you. Thank you again for giving us Eddie.

To Jayne and Mike,
We've known Eddie for over 30 years and enjoyed him as well as your mom, as friends for all that time. Your dad was among the very best persons that we have ever known, truly a gentle and caring man. He will now be with Mary and they can walk hand in hand together ......forever.
