Eddie was a kind and gentle man, a wonderful husband, father and brother. I will miss him more than I can ever express. He loved his family more than anyone I have ever known, and I know that Eleanor, his wife since 1959, and his four magnificent children are heartbroken at his passing. He served his country with great distinction in the United States Navy, becoming a world traveler at a very young age. He had a marvelous sense of humor and I have never, in all these years, heard anyone refer to him in an unkind way. His was a long and wonderful life. He was a strong believer in God and followed his religion with true conviction. We have all lost a real friend. May he rest in peace.
