Eddie was one of the last of a great generation of veterans and old time mail carriers. A true gentleman. I never heard him say a bad word about anyone. RIP, old friend.

I grew up with Glenn and even thou it has been a long time the memories are current as if it was yesterday. Your mom and dad always treated me as part of the family. May they both rest in peace.
