Steve & I were so sorry to hear about Eddie. He was such a fun loving person. I still laugh when Steve shares his memories of Eddie and Elizabeth Manor Golf Course. Sorry we were not able to attend the funeral as my sister-in=law's funeral was the same day. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Betty and the rest of your family....
