To the Mckecknie family: I had the privilege of working with Ed for many years. He was the trouble shooter for the Eastend. We referred to him as the pitbull, if there was a problem, he wouldn't let go until it was resolved. I learned a lot from Eddie. My heart goes out to you in this difficult time.

Some of the best memories of my childhood are of my parents friends. Everyone seemed so old and so serious. All except Eddie. I can remember laughing the whole time he visited us. Of course, we'd have to follow him around because he never stood still :).

Our hearts go out to Joyce and her family.
