I had the privilege of meeting Pee Wee through his daughter Angela. She & I are high school friends. I was impressed by the way she talked about her father and I could not wait to meet him.

Dear Angela and Eddie: Having known Angela when she was young and having worked with Eddie in the electrical field, I would like to express my sympathies in your loss of a father. It's always hard to lose a loved one, especially one that was so kind, funny, and caring as PeeWee. I'll never forget PeeWee as I worked with him for quite a few years.

Peewee and my family grew up on churchill. We were all like family with the sisters brothers and all uncles and aunts. Many great vacations with the two families going to BUCKROE BEACH in the back of the Healey'selectricial service truck. Sitting on picnic benches like a bunch of jail birds going to jail. Hot and sweaty but laughing all the way to and fro. God bless you Peewee for all the great times we shared as children growing up
