My deepest sympathy for the Carrillo family. I am friends with Brandy. Just knowing the kind of person Brandy is speaks volumes to what kind of father Eddie was. My prayers are with you and God Bless.

High School, you would dance all the way home. Such memories
Going to the Deauville Club in Santa Monica.
Going to the beach in your Woodie.
I was so lucky to have you in my life.
Thoughts will be with me always.

My father worked for Eddie for 26 years. I appreciate Eddie so much, he was a greatman. He was the only person who visited me in the hospital when I had a surgery at 6 years old. I care for him so much because he was able to have a job for my dad for so many years. I hope all his loved ones are doing well.

Truly a kind, generous soul. I still make guacamole the way he taught me. He gave the BEST bear hugs ever. It’s hard to be sad when my head is full of only great memories. Thank you Eddie!
