Not sure what to say?

Eddie Hoh influenced me as a young drummer when I first heard him on Lee Michael's CARNIVAL OF LIFE LP in 1967. He had an peculiar way of accenting and doing fills that was unusual for drummers at the time, and I loved it. Today in 2022 I still incorporate Eddie Hoh's subtle style in my playing whenever possible. Only wish I had acknowledged his influence and thanked him for it when he was still living

Thank you for your talents. Rest in Peace always.

Thank you for the music.

Lois, you are in my prayers at this difficult time. May Eddie rest in peace.

Where did you go Eddie?
I never tire of listening to your drum parts.
You may have been unknown and uncredited,but your brilliance is there for all to hear.
You deserved better
What an incredible musician you were.
I hope you found peace in your life.

I've been a fan of his for more than 15 years now, and I was...

Thank you Eddie for your musical gift, which has been a part of my life. Your gifts will never be forgotten. My loving sympathies to your family and friends. Play on!
