Eddie my friend Of over over 50 years I will miss you so much all of the ups and downs in life and still we knew we were there for each other we had some laughs and some tears I only have one regret and I didn´t get a chance to tell you that it was me a silly high school girl 50 some years ago that let the air out of all four of your tires . I hope you have a good laugh about it now . Until we meet again I will keep you in my loving memories.

Eddie was Such a kind man, who always made time to catch up with me, regardless of how he felt. Whenever I had the chance to be around him and my aunt Madeline I left hoping that my marriage would carry me thru this life the way that his love and commitment to his marriage so obviously did. He will be missed!
