Me and my family loved Eddie. He was funny, caring, loyal and a great friend. He came into our lives when I was a young teenager and fit in with us perfectly. I have so many great memories of time spent on the farm with him. He took care of my brother when hunting, fishing and riding around in the Suburban. I will always remember him pulling up on Friday nights with a rented DVD player from R&S Bait House in Bloomfield and enough scary movies to stay up for 2 nights! Rest in Peace, brother. I will see you again one day.

We fished hunted and worked together, we had lots of good times, the spot he left will never be filled by anyone he was a awesome person I'm glad to have him in my life. He loved his wife and boys and all of there accomplishments and achievements they have succeeded in life, he was so proud of them, sometimes things are hard to say but he always said before he left I love you all, and we love you too Eddie AKA Porky

So many good memories of us as kids. Camping and fishing. Spending time at your house. I'm glad I got to see you a few years ago when we were in Florida. Fly high on eagles wings. You will live on in every heart that you touched. My love and prayers go out to your wonderful mom ( Aunt Sarah) your beautiful wife Brenda to your sons to your grandchildren and to your siblings Chris, Annette and George.

It still doesn't seem true. Why you? You had one of the most jolly laughs and a smile that would put a smile on anyones face. You made friends with anyone that came across your path. I remember when we lived out in Ocklawaha you would call me around 5pm and say, "Is the coffee ready?, I'm almost there." During hunting season.
You came and hung out with us during a hard time our life. I remember one time when I was about 10yrs old I was in so much pain from having leg cramps (growing pains) I asked my mother if she would have you come over and help make them go away. Same for when I was walking through our kitchen and a piece of glass was in a trash bag and it sliced the side of my foot open...you came to my rescue, and made sure I was ok. I will always remember you. I remember when you made the sound of a "whippoorwill" which sounds just like a dove. So everytime I hear or see a dove I automatically think of you. I love and miss you dearly. I will see you one day.

Eddie was my best friend and I loved him like a brother. Some of the best times of my life was spending time with Eddie fishing or walking the Kentucky hills chasing whatever we could find. He was so funny and kind to everyone he knew. I was blessed to know such a great man. Prayers to Brenda, Sarah and all the family. RIP Big Brother. Catch a big one up there for me.
