Eddie helped out more people than could be imagined. He understood that not all people always had money to make needed repairs at any given time. Back about 20 years ago, I had an issue with my car that other mechanics could not fix (i was told no one could fix it, and the best option was to junk the vehicle). Eddie repaired the vehicle at a nominal price, and the car lasted several more years. This is but one instance of his decency- I know of many others. Rest in Peace and thank you, Eddie.

Eddie was always a good guy when I knew him as a teenager.
He turned out to be better as a husband and father. I’m glad we crossed paths again. I hope you and your son can always celebrate all the good times you had!

Ed, May you rest in the arms of Jesus. Eddie fixed all our cars. My mom, a little Italian lady, would make pasta and give it to Eddie and Joey. He was such a wonderful person and a great mechanic. Lots of times Eddie was patient with me trying to fix my old car so I would not have to buy a new car. He treated my parents, me and my friends like we were his family. You are in Heaven Eddie and God is very pleased with you. I will be saying prayers for you and your wife & son.
