Our thoughts and prayers are with you

Eddie was a very caring person and had a very big heart, he touched so many hearts in his life time I don't think he truly knew what a impact he had on everyone. His charm, a sense of humor that always went a long way. To know Ed to be apart of his family, be able to share apart of his live and memories we are truly blessed. You will always be in hearts Ed .
