Fagan Family--

So sorry to hear of Ed's passing. Think about him and your family often. Good memories from times gone by at Christ our King Church, the Bus Club and other functions that our parents were envolved in years ago in Warren.

Rest in peace Eddie. Met you and the other "crusty" old timers in 1981. All I have to say today is thank God.... without "input" (woah, it really hurt sometimes) from you I might not be sitting here sober and typing this. I know in my heart there is another brightly burning candle at "the big meeting" tonight. Going to miss you.

To say that Eddie was a good guy was an understatement - but a good guy he was. And there aren't very many of those. He hired me to clean out stables in the early 1980's. He taught me how to work. He taught me alot about living sober. And as I look back ~28 sober years later - it was the most meaningfun time in my life. Rest in Peace Eddie, you are loved and will not be forgotten.
