Dear Elaine, Linda, Eddie,Joannie,Jeannie and Richard, When I heard the news that Big Eddie passed away it brought on a lot of emotion both happy and sad. He was a good man who tended to his most prized possessions "his family". He will be sorely missed. May your memories be a source of comfort to you at this most difficult time. With lots of love, always, Jackie

Big Ed,
I will forever miss your beautiful face and your wit. You made me laugh but never made me cry until you left us.
