Muriel and Gail my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. As a non-relative "relative", I knew Eddie since I was a young person. Always marveled at his abilities and enjoyed our infrequent chats while visiting RI from FL. He will be missed by many and always with fond memories.

Mr Roy lived across the street from my Grandparent's home. I remember riding my bike up and down Ridge Street as a little girl and Mr. Roy was usually in the driveway tinkering with a car. He always took a moment to wave or call me over to say hello. When I was old enough to drive he made sure I had a good first car. Rest in peace, Mr Roy. My condolences to his loving family. - Jennie (Lambert) Jolicoeur
