I had the pleasure of having Eddie and Tom Graham audit several of the computer classes that I teach at Sinclair. They always came to class with big smiles and ready to learn. I would see them around campus and always get a big hug. I will miss seeing Eddie. He was such a gentle and kind man. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
