I don't get. Somtimes I froget, what it was like when you were around, what you looked like. Most of all I can't seem to remember what your
voice sounded like. I want to stop forgeting. My life is changing a lot. Somtimes I just want to stop and go back to those days where I was worry free.
Where i knew I was safe and my dad would never let anyone harm me, where my parents were in love and we were a happy family. Now we are
incomplete, and I do question am I safe when I go to bed at night. I also think what will happen if my mom finds someone else. It is hard to know the
truth.I know you were the best dad ever and to me the best person in the world.I love you and you will always be on my mind.

I worked w' Eddie at one or more of Mastersoft-Frame-Adobe-Inso in the 90s. Quite a cool guy--awesome. Ran across his name in my contact list today. I lit this candle to join the terrific support that's still here.
Godspeed to you all.

I saw this and it broke my heart...I'm so very sorry for your family. I worked with you at the video store...you always made me laugh and we had so many fun time together. Thank you for touching my life and I will ALWAYS remember our FRIENDSHIP...till we meet again my friend.

I only worked with Eddie a brief time, but he touched the heart of everyone that knew him...I can still hear his voice, and especially his wonderful laugh. I hope knowing that he is not forgotten by so many people, is of some slight comfort to those of you who lived and loved him so closely. Sending balloons to him is such an awesome idea. I will send one this weekend too.
Love Mom

Daddy you were such a awesome dad. You made my entire life colorful. Through our ups and downs you were always there for us. I miss you so much. I hope I will get to see you again. Life is just not the same without you. I wish you had never gone on that motorcycle but I know you had a great time. Knowing that makes me feel a bit better. I love sssssoooooo much daddy and I miss you. Love Boogie

The heartache I carry around because of your death is like no other. I miss you so much Babe and wish that I could go back in time and stop you from taking that ride. Instead of the laughter that used to fill our ears, we hear anger and upset that such a wonderful man had to be taken from a family that needed and wanted him so much. I love you with all my heart and miss you more and more each day. Please watch over the kids and remember that they love and miss daddy!!! Three kisses Babes I love you today, tomorrow and ALWAYS!!!
June 10, 2010
I'm still carrying you in my heart and think about you everyday. I will always miss your smile and laughter and the great personality you had. I know you are with us and pray for all of us to have strength to go and keep your memory alive forever. Love you....

I've been following this memorial since last year. I couldn't make it to the funeral, but I thought about Eddie all day that day. I ride motorcycles too. I don't know the circumstances of Eddie's fate, but whenever I ride now, it is on high-alert for anything possible. I keep riding because of the feeling of freedom in the face of danger on the roads. It certainly isn't for everyone. I know Eddie must have felt the same. But now I can't e-mail Eddie, and it brings great sadness. But he is fine, laughing, riding far.
April 28, 2010
So sorry for your loss!

I dont understand nor do I claim to understand where you are or when /if we will all be together one day . All I can do is live in the moment and feel the emotions as they come up for me. Yesterday was difficult although I did feel some peace. I hope to be more involved with your children telling them stories of our childhood times together because I think you would want that. I am at peace with your decision to ride that day and heard you were REALLY excited about going.I believe energy is neithercreated nor destroyed and therefore your energy is absorbed back into this vast Universe we all exist in. I KNOW you werent religous so I can share this with you because neither am I ......I will continue to remember you with a very happy heart . I will participate with your wife and children and enjoy watching them as they grow. I know you would do the same for me . BIG lesson here is to tell the people u love that YOU LOVE THEM ......... I have regrets for not saying that to you cousin.

What a beautiful day yesterday was. You would be so proud of your wife and children. We were all together and there was a lot of tears, but so much love. I know you were there with us. Love Aunt Pat

I follow the guest book entries and although I only knew Eddie for a short time, he made such a large impression with his constant good nature and willingness to help out on everthing and anything. I miss him so much, I can't even begin to imagine how much those of you so close to him must feel. I hope there is at least a little comfort in knowing he touched so many people's lives. Eddie: I'm sure you're creating and enjoying as much havoc in heaven as you did here on earth. Until we meet again, Fran (Bank of America)

Erin,
I knew and worked with Eddie at Adobe/Inso/Stellent. We all met at a Adobe Xmas party. I really liked Eddie's sense of humor and we really related. Prior to Adobe, I worked at Honeywell Intl. on avionics s/w for business jets. Eddie used to joke that "you will never fly inside a business jet" (because I too was a bit politically incorrect). Well. I still think about that and since returning to HI, I am very close to flying in the business jet and enjoying the wet bar! So if I do, I will be remembering your great husband Eddie and raising a drink to him in-flight. I miss him too and wish Eddie and I would have had more frequent e-mail before he left us all so early. Take care Erin and children, the time passing heals.

I send strength and hope to you and your children Erin - and to all of those close to him. I've really been thinking of Eddie lately and how long it's been since we've spoken and feel so out of touch for just finding out.
It was a privilege to work with him at Vital - he was an integral part of the great spirit and energy there.
You cannot ask for more than a life well-lived and he excelled!

I SURE AM GOING TO MISS YOU, EDDIE. GAMES OF "H.A.G.", STORIES OF SWIRLIES, CRUSTIES, AND RATCHET ADJUSTMENTS. I'M GOING TO MISS THAT PERPETUAL BIG GRIN. ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG. GOD MUST HAVE REALIZED JUST HOW VERY SPECIAL YOU WERE TO CALL YOU TO HANG OUT WITH HIM. HOPE HE TREASURES YOUR FRIENDSHIP AS MUCH AS I DID. HOPEFULLY, I'LL GET TO SEE YOU AGAIN WHEN MY TIME COMES.

I worked with Eddie a number of years ago at Vital, and will remember him for his knowledge, humor, helpfulness, and good nature ... all-around just one of the good guys. I am so saddened to hear this news, and my thoughts and prayers go out to Eddie's family and close friends.

I had the privilege of knowing and working with Eddie during my years at Vital. Even though I left Vital in 2001, I stayed in touch with Eddie and will really miss his witty e-mails and sense of humor. The world was a better place because of Eddie. He will be missed.

Dear Allen Family,
I worked with Eddie for a number of years and we kept in touch after he left to go to Bank of America. Eddie was truly one of a kind and one of the very best - in all aspects of his work, his attitude towards life and his love for his family. He loved to make people laugh, was self driven at work to be the very best at what he did, and to mentor those that worked with him to help them as well. He always had a smile on his face, without regard to how bad the issues were or the number of hours we put in at the office. When he spoke of his family, that smile he always seemed to have on his face would get a little bigger and he always had a gleam of pride in his eyes. I know he loved all of you with everything that he was.
I am deeply saddened to hear of Eddie’s passing. I do not have the words to adequately express my sorrow and condolences to your family. I am very sorry for your loss. I will very much miss Eddie’s humor and friendship.
Toby Stone
May 18, 2009
I just found out about the horrible trajadey. Eddie was a very fun and knowlegable guy. He was always fun to be around here at work when he worked for Visa/Vital. You will be really missed. You and your familys thoughts are in our prayers.
