As Emergency Dept Nurses, we all knew Eddie had our backs. I imagine everyone who knew him felt that way.
God Bless, Eddie.

I first met Eddy while working as a nurse on the midnight shift in the E.D. at West Suburban Hospital in Oak Park. When he stopped by for a cup of coffee, he would have everyone laughing. In the spring of 1984 I cared for a young Chicago Police Officer from 015 who was injured in a squad car accident. Over the next several months, Eddy helped to nurture a blossoming relationship with that officer. We married a few years later. Through the years we shared some great times with Eddy, Evy, the kids, and even the dogs. Our deepest sympathy to Eddy's family.

Everyone knew you as 'Eddie" but to me you were "Uncle Bruce", I have nothing but fond memories of you and Aunt Evey. I never had the chance to tell you , but your the reason I joined CPD. Rest in peace. Marie Corso

Eddie, I met you in 1974 when I was a brand new policeman in 015. You welcomed me and treated me as an equal during a time when "old timers" didn't really talk to rookies. That's the kind of guy you were; decent, fair and honest. You were "the real police". Rest in peace Ed. Joe Walsh Chicago Il

Eddie we first met when I was a rookie in 015 in 1977. You always had patience with me and in time we became good friends on the job. I have very fond memories of the times we worked together. It was a job but you made it fun. You will be greatly missed. God bless you and your family.

When I first came on the Chicago Police Department in 1972, I was assigned to the 15th District. I met Eddie then and worked with him a few times on the "Island Car" which was Eddie's beat. Being a rookie, Eddie was so helpful and treated me very well. I learned alot about being a policeman from Eddie. Eddie would give you "The shirt off of his back". God bless you Eddie.

Eddy my FTO, and what a guy! One of the last 15th District Rangers. I'll remember you throughout my life. I learned a lot and laughed a lot. Great years. Your suffering is over, you're at peace. Now you can share the life here after with Evey. My prayers go out to the Castellano family.
