My sister's Marleen and Lorraine remember him well. He always came to our house and made all of us laugh. My mother Gloria thought the world of him. We will miss the times we all played lotto. Especially when he thought somthing was great his comment was, It makes me want to run thru the streets.

Dearest Patsy and Family
This is a very sad time for you all and for me.
I will, in days to come, miss not hearing Eddie's voice on my answering machine - "Mary, it's Eddie - call me." His passing leaves a void in my heart and in my life that no one can fill.
Eddie and I shared 58 years in a meaningful, family-close friendship. Together we survived and comforted one another as we experienced the struggles of daily living; the loss of our beloved parents; and other hurtful situations. We shared so many great, never-to-be forgotten fun times. He and I often talked about God's greatest gifts to us -- our families and our friendship. "58" years is a life time; I can't recall a day without Eddie in my life.
The opening few lines of a favorite prayer of mine are -- We seem to give them back to you, O God, who gave them to us. Yet as you did not lose them in giving, so we do not lose them by their return. Life is eternal and love is immortal.
God bless you all.

I've known Edward for 50 years, and if for nothing else, he was always good for a laugh. Easter and Thanksgiving will no longer be the same. He'll be missed....
