Uncle Eddie, I will always remember your goofy yet sharp sense of humor and your kindness. Most of all, I will remember how very special you were to my dad and how he lit up every time he thought of you. Thank you for being a wonderful brother to Joseph Percy. I know he is welcoming you into God's Kingdom. Love, Lisa
