When you look at Eddie's life as a whole, he was a giving and caring man. He left the world a better place by caring for his family, adopting his nephew, caring for his elderly mother and aunt, and saving lives as a paramedic.
I will miss his laugh, his stories, and his advice. I hope he is enjoying the beauties of paradise.

We will miss Ed's wonderful laugh, crazy sense of humor, his openess, and his stories about trips he's taken with our sister, Barb. Ed was a great cook and baker and we spent many a holiday meal with Barb and Ed. We will miss you and think of you often. Special thoughts to Barb and all of Ed's family as they cared for him in the last six months of his life.
Love, Nancy and Mary Ellen
