Joseph E. "Eddie" Bockman

Dear Ruthee, Barry and I just heard of the passing of Eddie. We both shed a tear as we have many special memories of Eddie and yourself. On one of Eddies' first trips to Australia while he was with the Phillies, he employed Barry as a scout. Barry considered Eddie his mentor and their friendship continued over the years. We looked forward to those Christmas phone calls and catching up. Our prayers and thoughts are with you............Barbara

I knew Mr. Bockman from his time living in Danville. I was a window clerk who loved talking to him about baseball. I coached kids and sent them to his summer Phillie camps in Redding. Can you let me know when there may be a memorial? My e-mail [email protected]
Thank You, Mike Petta

Ruthie, I am sorry to see Eddie go. He was a great friend for many years, and I am sorry that I never made it to Milbrae to meet him. My prayers and thoughts are with you and his relatives.

Ruthy, so sorry to hear about Eddie. He ws always such a nice man. Always enjoyed seeing him especially at games when Matt was playing at Cal. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
