Read MoreMy first days at AC Steer from 1965 on were brightened by Eddie. I've thought of him many times over my adult life and what a joyful and shining role model he was for all of us.

Mrs. Jessie - My sister and I just learned of Mr. Eddie's death. We met you at the rehab facility (our mom's room was across the hall from Mr. Eddie). The love and dedication you displayed for "your baby" of 68 years, as well as the boyish grin he displayed each time he looked at you really warmed our hearts.
