Aunt Phyllis, Eddie & Patti--I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you today. I will miss Uncle Eddie very much and treasure all the good memories I have of him. He was a special person and a wonderful uncle.

Love You, Love You, Uncle Eddie ! You were a special Joy in our life. My father Bob was the oldest and you were the youngest. When Dad died 10 years ago I always felt that a large part of him was still here when I would see you or talk to you on the phone. Now you are with him and laughing and filled with such peace and joy to be back home with all of your brothers and sisters.. My children always called you their rich uncle because you always had a pocket filled with quarters.. We will...

To Aunt Phyllis, Eddie, and Patty,
I know it's hard to let go, but you are so fortunate to have Uncle Eddie in your lives for so long a time.
I have many fond memories of Uncle Eddie, the last brother of my grandfather. I can just imagine all the brothers reunited together in Heaven. They have a lot to catch up on!
God Bless,
George

Uncle Eddie, nothing but fond memories of you, Aunt Phil and our Mom & Dad in Florida together. Also, when we lived on Orange Street in Newark and you worked at Gustave Sobo's, we could see you grab a full side of beef on your shoulders as if it weighed a pound. The one (of many) happy thoughts I will always remember is your wonderful smile. God bless you and Aunt Phil.
