Our deepest condolences Joanne. I will miss Eddie’s intellect and his stories about growing up in South Berwick. He was a true “yarn spinner” for sure!

To Joan and the family, I am thankful that Eddy had 50 years being married and living a full life. He now is resting now awaiting the "Great Spirit" to call him from his sleep to a place where their will be no more sickness, sorry of death. The Trumpet will sound and the dead in Christ shall arise. I Thessalonians 4:14-18
