I met Eddie this past summer while operating the Fireworks tent housed at M&M. Eddie was hospitable, and just down right cool. He was smart and humble and I valued his opinions. He would hang late at the garage, it made me feel safe knowing he was there. I adored Eddie. I looked up to him, and I couldn´t wait to see him next year. My deepest condolences to Tommy, Esther and the rest of Eddie´s loving family.

I worked for Eddie at M&M back in the 1980's. He was in the car business since the early 1960's, and never did retire. He was at the garage daily until a few days before he passed. Nearly 60 years in business, we can't help but admire him. We'll miss Eddy at M&M, as a fixture of the Mt. Top community. There was a time when every car on our street, had an M&M sticker on the trunk. Regards to his children, brother Tommy, sister, and family. RIP Ed.

I knew Ed for many years as I worked around repair centers in Mt Top and had interactions with Ed. I also helped a little bit on the #12 stock car which Ed was so proud of. May he RIP
