Dear Lisa and Family,
My sincere condolences to you and your family at this difficult time. Eddie was always so very kind to me. I enjoyed listening to his stories in the barbershop and he was so incredibly knowledgeable about so many things. It was my honor and pleasure to have known him and to have cut his hair on occasion.He will be truly missed by all his friends and family.
Sincerely,
Michele Price

I remember Eddie from when we were kids in Fairfield in the mid 1950s. We used to sneak out our parent's cars out and ride around town when they had gone out for the evening. Don't know if they ever caught on. In the backyard of 201 Penfield we had an extensive series of dirt roads for our respective "Dinky Toy" collections. Also remember sitting in the playroom ( old fashioned term) in his basement listening to Les Paul's recording of " How High the Moon" and marveling at the innovation. ...

Sending love and prayers, Lisa.

A cousin of childhood remembrances with my last contact 20 years ago. Eddie (known in the family as Bowen) certainly led an admirable life - our lives carried us in different directions but family ties are lasting.

I got to know Eddie through his wonderful art collection. He was a playful affectionate soul. I like to think he's in heaven discussing the finer points of etching with Kerr Eby, one of his favorite artists. He'll be greatly missed and fondly remembered.

Very saw to learn of Eds passing. My sincere sympathy to Lisa and the family. Ed was an outstanding individual who I know will be missed.
