I am so sad to find out that we lost Eddie. I've known Eddie since the '70s out when we all lived on Hontoon Peninsula. We would catch up at cookouts couple times a year. Loved what he named his speedboat, The Overtaker!!! RIP

Although miles separated us our friendship remained strong from mortuary college from 1963. He was a good friend of Dolores and myself. RIP MY DEAR OLD FRIEND. Your family will remain in our prayers
