Eddie had a big heart. He was a good friend at Westside. Taught me how to play defensive end. RIP with Christ your Savior.

I'll miss Eddie. I trained him at Fedex about Logos (the maintenance computer system). I don't know how he ever finished anything with all those trips to Nashville, etc. for the Jaycees. We had the same birthdays 2/17.

May peace be with your family in this time of sorrow. I was president of Franklin County Jaycees when J. Eddie was state president. I have many fond memories of him and was fortunate to have learned so many leadership skills from him that I still use today. I will be unable to attend the memorial service tomorrow, but know that my heart will be with you.
