Tuesday April 15. I just heard about ACE from Jack Hughes when I got back from a trip to Gulf Shores AL. I spent many happy times with ACE at DOC Ryans for years until I got married and moved to London. A GREAT BUDDY with a great sense of humor and legendary Packer fan. I wish I could have been at the wake.

When my family moved into St. Giles parish in 1940, the first one to show up on my doorstep and become my friend was George Eder. He remained my close friend for the next 63 years. For most of the years we were growing up it seemed we did everything together; playing sports, attending school, fishing trips, hockey games, White Sox games, memorable times at Doc Ryans, Casa Luna and other select watering holes, we did everything together. When it came time to pick a best man for my wedding,...

My condolences to the Eder family. George was such a friendly, warm-hearted man. For the short time I knew him, it was obvious his devotion to his family. He was such a wonderful uncle to Alicia; visiting her every weekend. She perked up when he popped in the room. He will be greatly missed.

My deepest regrets to George's family. I worked with George for 15yrs as I served as the Secretary to the Superintendents of the Composing Room. George was a wonderful person and may his memory be a source of strength to all members of his family.

I wish to extend my heart-felt condolences to the family of George.
He was a very good friend of my late husband Art,who passed away last June, and myself. I am sure they are both up there enjoying a game of cards, or bowling a game or two. Their time with us was too short. They will be missed dearly.
Sincerely, Carol Costello
