Edward Francis "Eddie" Conner

Eddie Conner was my daddy's (Albert Wheby) best friend since they were so young. Eddie and my daddy went to get me a puppy when I was just about 8 years old and now, I'm 54 and they were best friends' way before i was born. They came home with me a beautiful Miniature collie, I named him Tiger. Me and Tiger grew up together. When my daddy got sick, Eddie came EVERY DAY and would sit with him. They were the best of friends and always stood by one another. Eddie was like a second father to me. I remember the stories he would tell of my father and him through the years. This breaks my heart into so many pieces that he is gone but I find comfort knowing he is again with my daddy in heaven, and they are looking down on us. Eddie and I would talk about our love for animals, I remember one day he came to visit my dad, and he brought his little puppy over for me to play with. It's funny how all of the good memories never leave you no matter how young you were. I love you Eddie and I will always miss you. You were a wonderful person and to the people you loved, you stood by them through anything.
