My sincere condolences to Eddie's family and friends.
I'm saddened by seeing that he passed...we've been close friends since 1973, and we've had many good times together...and hair-raising...lol. I can think fondly of all our times together and my only regret was that we didn't have more lately. I hope that all our memories with him will help the healing process. God bless you!

Condolences to all who are missing Eddie today. He was an "old friend" who I haven't seen in many years. My hope is that he will join the rest of our many dearly departed friends in a place that is so beautiful , it escapes our current understanding. Imagine that. Sue (Rat) Roth [email protected]
