Our Dear Eberhardt Family-Our hearts are very heavy right now but I remember that if Mr. E were here at East he'd be taking the time to pass on a kind word or he'd be teasing one of us. I'll miss yelling "Hey E!!!" and hearing him respond,"Poling!!!" We must take time to grieve and honor Mr. E's life and then we must carry on his legacy by being kind, being gracious and cracking a joke when necessary. Healing love and peace to Deb and Gracie and the rest of the family. Your East High Family

Uncle Buddy, you will be missed dearly!

I will miss your smile, your laugh and most of all your sense of humor!!! Who is going to call and prank my phone….only YOU could do that. Who is going to take Elijah Fishing? Most of all who is going to be in charge of the “White Elephant Gag Gift” game during the holidays?

Although you were taken from us much too soon, I know that you are in a better place. Your journey here on earth is complete!

“Then they said to him, “Please inquire of God to learn whether our journey will be successful.” The priest answered them, “Go in peace. Your journey has the LORD's approval.” (NIV-New International Version)

Uncle Buddy you have gone in peace with God's approval, and I know grandpa welcomed you with open arms!!!
Rest in Peace Uncle Bud!!!!

Mother Eberhardt,
The true lover of God disdains the world and all that is in the world, and strives toward God, his most beloved. I know this but it's still hard to believe he is gone, yet I don't question Gods decision to take such a man. I have no doubt that he is already talking about folks in only a way that he could. From the first day we met and I knew he was your son, we bonded and everyday I looked forward to talking and laughing with him. He brought smiles to so many faces, parents, students and co workers alike. So Chicken Man I'll say my final farewell, you will be missed! RIP Buddy!

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. (Psalm 73:26)
