It's hard to put into words the feelings that I, and my family, have for Eddie... fighting back the tears, all I can say is that my life has been richly blessed to have known Eddie and his family.He is the epitome of a good neighbor, who became friend, and family. He has been there countless times for each and everyone of us in my family. Most importantly he helped look out for my precious mother during her dementia, until I could get her moved in with me. He helped with my dad when he had Alzheimer's while my mother worked, until she was able to retire. There have been too many other numerous events and situations where Eddie came to the rescue, to mention here... he will be greatly missed.... there'll never be another Eddie. I believe he is in a better place now. I can just see him laughing and reminiscing with my mom & dad...
We love ❤ you Eddie...
