I met Eddie back in the early 80's through Glen Martin as we used to stop by Eddie's house on Maury and do 40 runs up to the drive through bait shop. I can't believe they're both gone and both to cancer. I send my sympathy to all of his family and friends and will always remember him smiling and laughing...

I first met Eddie when he was one of my 5th grade students at Dunlap School. He was a great kid, always happy and interested in learning. I appreciated his humor and the respect he showed to me and his classmates! Last year I saw Eddie again when he came to the hospital where I volunteer to have his treatments. During his visits we had the chance to talk about old times and family as well as his illness. He was so positive and upbeat! I was so sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family.
