To the Richardson Family, as you all know Eddie was an amazing human being, dedicated husband, loving son and father to his only daughter. I met Eddie at Martin Luther King Academy and we became friends instantly! We were confidants and he was my protector. He was Senior Class President and I was Senior Class Secretary. He was Valedictorian and I was Student of the Year. We worked on the School Newspaper together. We debated about everything! Lol!! We went too the Prom together. Eddie made returning to High School fun but focused!!! He was intelligent and had the coolest walk. Eddie, hearing you had passed away not only shocked me but broke my heart all over again after a very tragic year of deaths for me. I will never forget the last time I saw you and the last time we talked. I will always remember our special times at MLK Academy! Mrs. Richardson thank you and God for creating such a beautiful Man. Goodbye "Eddie Rich." You know I see that Smile.
