Not sure what to say?

He was the best math teacher I had at DHS. Condolences to his family.

Mr. Fair was my Freshman Math Teacher. He will always be Mr. Fair to me and was the best of the best!

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. So many memories and stories of growing up in Virginia, IL Loved going to dinner at the Fair's with Tom and Bud after our wild times riding our bikes all over town. Eddie was like a big brother to me, too. Thinking of you, Don and Rosa Nan

My sincere sympathy to Eddie's family. I was in school with him as well as MYF where he usually beat me at ping pong following our lesson. He was always kind, fair, respected, and compassionate.I pray comfort for your family.
