Eddie was an outstanding musician whom I had seen perform in the area many times over the years. He always had a smile on his face, and a positive attitude. The St Louis music scene is poorer with his passing. My condolences to his family and many friends.

He was an inspiration to us all. I will always be grateful for his playing at my father's 80th birthday party at the Cupples House in May, 2000. He was unmistakenly the best in St. Louis. My sympathy to the family.

Eddie was one of my dearest friends, a fellow musician with whom I shared countless superb musical moments. His many friends (myself included) will miss his positive attitude, generosity of spirit, curiosity about and interest in many things as well as his unique creativity. In so many instances Eddie was there for me, as well as for my late wife Carol, and we always felt that we were part of his great family.
My sympathy to Debbie, Eddie Jr, Matt, Jennie and the entire family.

We are sad to hear of Eddie's passing. He was not only a great jazz musician-he also helped keep our music alive & he was kind, gentle & caring. He will be missed by all who knew & loved him.
