Not sure what to say?

I met Eddy in the first few weeks in the APL. I always looked forward to seeing him and playing games with him. He started hosting after being in the league for awhile. He always made the games fun and always made me laugh. I don't think Eddy even knew how much he meant to me and to others in this league. He had a way of making you feel special, but I don't think he really knew how special he was. I will miss him terribly.

I also met Eddie through APL. In fact, he had several loyal followers who wanted to play where he was hosting.

Eddie was always there with a hug and a smile. When you live in the Metroplex you rarely get to know the people around you. So, I am honored to say Eddie was my friend. We will "all" miss him very much.

Eddie was a good friend of my brother's. I spoke with Eddie often, running into him at the grocery store, dropping by our house and when he called to speak to Jim. Eddie will be sorely missed, he was a good man, a good friend and you could always count on him to be there. God Bless You, Eddie!

I knew Eddy through APL poker since last August. He was always welcoming and cheerful and would give me a friendly hug. He is well remembered and will be missed.

I met Eddy through APL poker and got to know him over many months, several times each week. Eddy was such a good man, he was a delight -- fun, fair, & a compassionate soul with a big heart. My thoughts & prayers are with you all.
