It is hard to fathom the fact that Eddie has perished. Although he is no longer with us, his memory will still live on with all of us. I have known Eddie for many years, and was a co-worker of his at Terminal Railroad. Without question, he had one of the most colorful and interesting personalities of anyone I have ever met. Simply put, he was quite the "character." He certainly will be missed by many. I would like to express my deepest sympathies to Eddie's family in these trying times. The passing of a loved one is one of the most difficult tasks to endure in life. While the pain will never completely diminish, time, to a certain extent, does mitigate the sorrow. I'm confident that Eddie would want everyone to stay strong
