To the Unvarsky family. My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time of sorrow. I have many fond memories of Eddie throughout the years as both a neighbor and friend. He was always smiling and quick with a joke. The world will be a little less brighter without him in it.

Our most sincere sympathy on the passing of our cousin Eddie. He was always a pleasure to be around as he loved his family and enjoyed our gatherings as much as we enjoyed his being with us. He was always there to help family in an emergency and was at our door first to offer his services. Eddie was a "good person" and that is a quality that cannot be overlooked or underestimated. May he rest in peace.
