Not sure what to say?

Mr. Driscoll was a sweet sweet man. I knew him only briefly during a hospital stay, but have several fond memories of him. My favorite includes him stating one morning..."I need to get my wife flowers." "Why? Is it a special occaision?" "No", he replied, "because I love her." It made my heart melt. I know he is dearly missed.

It's been many years since I've seen my Uncle Eddie. Sending prayers to all the family as you remember all the good times, especially going to Virginia Beach. Love to Wanda, Bubba, Alex and Sherrie

I just wanted to say, I was a friend of Eddie and Liz 40 years ago. Eddie & Liz were dear friends. And surely will be missed by friends & Family. God Bless his wife and family.As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Eddie,

You were tough as nails and kind as a saint. We hope that great fishing hole in the sky is everything you hoped for.

May the thoughts and prayers of those who love you fill your sails with strong winds, support your hulls from strong seas, guide your hands upon the rudder toward pleasant places that you have never been and always wanted to go, and bring you home to a safe and majestic harbor.

All of our Love,
Danny, Donna, and Bryan

What a great neighbor! We have fond memories of Jeanne and Eddie coming over for fireworks on July 4th; and Eddie helping clear a tree from our yard after a storm.

One of our fondest memories was when our son was in the Tiger Cubs and Eddie pledged 10 cents a pin in their bowl-a-thon, more than anyone else. Our son had a really good day bowling and Eddie paid $17.00 for his pledge. Wonderful support for those cubs!

Eddie always had a smile for us and he will be...

Aww I'm sorry to hear that Mr. Driscoll passed away. I am one of the nurses that cared for him at the hospital. I'll always remember him for his sense of humor. He was such a funny guy and he lifted my spirits as I'm sure he lifted yours.

you are home with our beloved mom Mary Elizabeth Driscoll

I'm sure you're fishing in heaven as we speak. We'll miss you. Kris

My condolences to my Uncle Eddie's family and friends. I have fond memories of visits between his family and mine when I was young and regret that we drifted apart so many years ago. To my cousins, Wanda, Bubba, Alex & Sherrie, my best wishes and hopes that you and yours are well and, except for greatly missing your father, happy as are myself and my brothers Mike & Pat and our familes.
