Eddie was a one-of-a-kind person in more than one aspect. He was At one time A very close friend of mine, And over time he still remained a friend. He had many talents, and more Talent than anyone could imagine. Over the years I had always wished that I could have gotten Eddie to go out and play music with me again, because he was someone that I would have loved to been able to show his talent off to so many people, but never did I ever get that chance. He was so good on the guitar, And so many other instruments, That if you played with him You would want to put your guitar down and never play it again, because you would know in your heart that you would never be as talented as Eddie. I am so thankful that I still have Original live recordings of Eddie playing his guitar In the band that he named For us Called the Jam Factor. Sometimes Eddie would call me up, And he would ask me If he could play a song over the telephone for me that he had just written, Or he wanted my opinion on How it sounded. I would just sit there with my ear to the phone And I would be totally amazed at what I was hearing. Eddie was so humble. He was so full of love For his family, and his wife. Even though I didn't see him much, I was so thankful also that he didn't forget me, and kept me in his life as a friend. I will always miss you Eddie.

Condolences to Jonnie & family. I've known him since I was a freshman in high school and he was a senior. He always looked out for the "young guys". Eddie was a talented musician and an all-around wonderful human being. He had a great sense of humor and will be sorely missed. Rest in peace Edwardo
