To Eddies family, I am so sorry to hear of his death. Just found out last weekend at a class reunion. Eddie was my boyfriend for two years. My dance partner at teen town..and could he dance..great guy I was going with him when he went into the service. I was happy to hear he has a daughter and she also is a great dancer.
Once again. so sorry..a little bit of our past "Gone With The Wind"

I knew Eddie, in the early 60's ,,My first real boyfriend..Great dancer, great guy, I was going with him when he first went into the service. Gosh we were such babies then. I hated to hear of his death. Somone at our class reunion told me just a week ago. Strange it took me back in time. I rememer I went to his sisters wedding with him. I was happy to hear he has a daughter.
Rest in peace Dear Eddie.
