My Uncle Eddie was truly a kind, gentle, and loving man. When I got the chances to see him he was always smiling or laughing or hugging. As a child I thought he was my father's brother married to my Aunt Laura until I got it straight and learned my Aunt Laura is my father's sister. In my younger years I remember my family visiting and staying at my Uncle Eddie and Aunt Laura's home where Uncle Eddie would spoil us all up and we got to have good times with my cousins. I love you Uncle Eddie, I think you and I shared a tender heart. ❤

My wife Frances and I are sadden by the passing of Eddie. We had some great days with Lora and Eddie, especially when Gene and Jessie Reyes, their compadres, were involved. It has been many years since we saw them but they and their family have always been in our thoughts and hearts. Abrazos and prayers to the family, may God bless you.

Thank you Coach Leon for being a great coach, mentor, teacher of the game of football. You taught me discipline that has stuck with me through my life; it also led to the Super Bowl win with the Bengals. RIP Coach, you will be missed and remembered forever
