Donna and I are very sad to hear about Eddie's passing and even more heartbroken that we cannot be there to celebrate his life and spend time with Fran and the rest of Eddie's family. I lived next door to the McGurk Family in Brandon and had the pleasure of getting to know Eddie before and after my Naval service. Eddie always treated me like a brother, shipmate and friend, no matter where or when I ran into too him, he made his greeting personal, took the time to listen to you, and ALWAYS offered to help you in whatever way he could. Another good one gone! Rest In Peace, my friend.

God Bless Fran McGurk and her family. The world has lost a wonderful war hero and strong American Patriot. It is truly a sad day for his family on earth but may Jesus meet Eddie at the gate of Heaven so he will no longer feel the pain of humanity. God Bless and Angelic Blessings to this wonderful hero
