Everyone that knew Eddie could agree that it was impossible not to like him. He always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell. When I was little I’d come into work with my mom and Eddie always had a job for me to do, I was his little helper. I hated being tall and he used to always tell me, right up until the very last time I saw him that “Tall people rule the world”. Whether that is true or not, I’ll never know, but I always believed him. Because of Eddie I know that I can do whatever I want, and be successful, the only thing that can hold me back is myself. Thank you Eddie for helping me realize that and for everything else. I love you and will always miss you.
Love,
Caitlin
Eddie was a very important person in our lives, he was like a family member, and we loved him as such. No one was ever angry around Eddie, he had an air about him that just made the whole room happy. He enjoyed every minute of his life, sick or not, and that is the best policy to live by, like Eddie would say, “Enjoy life.” Eddie you were a great man and we will forever miss you.
Love Always, Bob&Cindy
With sincere sympathy to Ed’s family.
