Roseann, Debi,
I was very saddened to see of Eddie Joe´s death. Where has the time gone?
I have so many great memories of growing up and playing in the alley in Footedale with all of you guys. And my parents and your´s were great friends.
It has been too many decades since we were neighbors in Footedale and had such great times. I hope that you and you family will quickly move by the grief of his passing, and focus on all the happy times and good memories. And please know that I share your grief and all the good old memories.
Sincerely
Your old Footedale friend and neighbor, Dave Solarsick
