My condolences to Eddies's family again I just wanted to add that i worked with Eddie for over 9 years and what i remember most about Eddie was that he was always smiling and joking around with the guys. Eddie was most definitely a real cool boss. Eddie loved his Chinese food and if it wasn't Chinese food, it was New England Fish and Chips. We all ate well on any tour Eddie was on. RIP my friend..Murray
