Eddie's love extended to the numerous four-legged companions he welcomed into his home over the years.

For over forty years, Eddie dedicated himself to the amusement industry, including working for Delmarva Amusements, Matthews Amusements, and Entertainment Experts. His work and personality made him a familiar face from the ocean to the bay.

Eddie's generosity touched countless lives. He opened his home and heart to many over the years simply because he believed it was the right thing to do. Eddie was known for his great spirit - described by many as a great friend, husband, father, son, brother, and simply a great man. His quick wit and humor brightened the days of those around him.

Eddie loved to travel and played multiple sports throughout the years. He was an avid fan of the Ravens, Orioles, MD Terps, and Nascar and attended many memorable sporting events including the World Series, Super Bowl, Daytona 500, and The Masters.

Even though he cherished time with his friends, his favorite thing was spending time with his family, especially his son Carter. Their bond was special and will endure even though Eddie is no longer physically present.

Eddie bravely battled cancer with remarkable strength and dignity, inspiring all who knew him. Even in his challenging final years, he remained focused on the well-being of others and found joy watching those around him live life to the fullest. He will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone he touched.
