He was such a great guy and funny without even knowing it. He will be missed.

Dear Lucy, Jenn and Jess.

I'll never forget the first time Eddie asked me if I wanted a "cock-a-tail". Nick teased him all the time about being in this country since he was 14, and still speaking broken English.

I have so many fond memories of raising our kids on Plover St and being part of the gang. From dinners at Ann and Tom's house, Christmas mornings at our house, BBQ's in the garage when it snowed, the pig roast/luau at Nancy and Danny's, and the Halloween that we used the leopard covering of his "singles" couch to make our African tribe costumes.

I will always remember the way Eddie lit up a room when he came in, and his ever-present smile.

Rest in peace my friend.

With that great big grin.
