As a skilled tradesman, he not only taught all who wanted to learn, but he would often work free of charge for anyone in need of his help. As an avid sports lover, he never missed a chance to support his favorite teams. In addition to being a fan and player, Eddy's passion for sports also allowed him to serve as Coach to countless children. From family and friends of St. Jarlath, Bishop O'Dowd and St. Lawrence O'Toole, there is no shortage of pain in his loss. Eddy will be remembered by family for his love, support, strong will and determination. No length of time apart could come between Eddy and his family or friends. Whether sharing a joke, a story, or song, there will never be a substitute for Eddy or his memory.
