I can’t believe you are gone. I hope you watch over Tiffany and the kids. This is so sad and a huge loss for everyone. I’ll forever cherish the time we had together. You coming to Eliyot & my birthday parties . You always came up to the barber shop to check in on me & get a cut. Running into each other at the stores. I’ll forever love & miss you . Fly high Uncle Eddie. You were one of a kind.
