My thoughts and prayers are with you. Eddie and I shared 23 years at FedEx, a lot of great times as we have many stories and tales in our time working together. We always laughed at how many people we have seen come and go though the years. His family was always his pride and joy as he shared with us. He will really be missed.

A gentle soul, quick to laugh- that is how I remember my Uncle Eddie. My Sesame Street storybook (Christmas 1973) is now on my children's bookshelf, and I think he would have gotten a kick out of that. I am truly sorry that we are so far away- please know our love and thoughts are with you all.

My condolences to Eddie's family. I knew him from junior high and high school. I remember his brothers as well (Dan and Tommy). Eddie was one of my favorites. Someone here said his co-workers at FedEx found him to be a kind and caring soul. That's how I remember him from way back. Glad to know he never changed, and I'm truly sorry for your loss.

Eddie Campbell Family,
Eddie and I were pals from 12 years old on. Although I haven't seen him in years, I know I speak for all of his OLD friends, and he had many friends, that he was one terrific guy; always ready with a smile and a good laugh. He was a truly caring person; genuine in every way. A one of a kind personality that made you feel special when you were in his company.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.

Dear Eddie,
There has not been a day that has gone by that you were not thought of and loved. I will always remember the good years growing up together, playing baseball, riding bikes, going fishing; your love for music and fast cars – especially the Porsches. It would always amaze me that you could take electronics that were broken, tinker with them awhile, and get them working again. The highlights include the excitement of seeing your joy with your newborn sons. I can truly say...

My deepest sympathy is with your family in this time of need. Eddie "BUBBA", as he was known to his FedEx family was a carrying and gentle soul when it came to his coworkers. With the diverse age group he worked with he could always find a conversation to spark up that everyone would relate too. His sense of humor and quick whit has truly been missed but will never be forgotten. His stories about his family, Cherly's green thumb and the horses and the love for his boys, he was a man that...
