Eddie was a great friend from years back when he was in the Navy. We have so many fond memories of times together with him and Ardene. The visits they made to Southern California several times just after Christmas to spend time with us brought many laughs and great times! Our times in San Pedro, Catalina Island and Incline Village were such fun--never to be forgotten! No better friends in the world than Ardene and Eddie! They were so loving and caring to us and our children--there was a warmth about them that very few individuals possess. He is now with Ardene, Jerry and Isaac. Our friends were Eddie's friends; they send their condolences as well as ourselves and our children. We are so sorry we cannot be there for his service because of health issues. We will be at the service in our thoughts and with prayers for you, his dear family. Love, Ron and Marsha

I see that face, those ears, that nose and that wonderful smile. Truly a great friend! Heaven got another angle and now Isaac and his grandfather can walk down that path again! See ya when I get there Eddie! Hugs to the family!!
