So sorry to hear this... Dear Eddie, you´ll be fondly remembered as a fierce competitor on the court. Those St. Clement/St Rita CYO games were always fun to reminisce and I loved hearing about your LSU experience while sharing a few laughs and libations at your restaurant. Our warmest condolences and prayers to the family.
