Dear Delage Family,
We were so sorry to hear about our dear, Eddie. He was more than a friend-we considered him our family. Being from Pittsfield, Eddie and I hit it right off, sharing stories from our past in Massachusetts. We miss our Mondays with Eddie in the shop. (We have no one to fix our clocks and stuff anymore.) We will treasure our memories-I'm so glad that we were blessed to have him in our lives. He will live in our hearts forever.
With love, Debra and Steve and all Eddie's friends at Ace Firearms in St. Augustine
