Dad - that's what you were to me. I came to Tucson during a travel assignment, alone, excited, but unsure what was to come. I was new to the area, in my heart I always loved Tucson. I met Sally at work and it was a great ride from there. She took me to her home and I met you and Laverne. You all welcomed me like family. Since my father passed much earlier, you became a father to me. You kept me strong. I will always remember holidays with Eddie, Sally, you and Laverne and the food and laughs. Every time I think of Tucson, I remember "home" and fun we had. So glad Sally and I are like sisters - I'm so blessed. Miss you! Sympathy to all family and friends without you now. Cher

We will miss you Uncle Eddy. Or as we joked..UNCALEDDY!
You were there for me when my dad and your brother Frank, passed away
30 yrs. ago and I will never forget what that meant to me.
You will live on in my heart forever.
Rest in God's Loving Care.
Sincerest sympathy to those left behind . I will pray for you all.
