I will always have the great childhood memories of family/holiday dinners at Uncle Eddie and Aunt Josephine. I can still picture the card table, and the "kids table".

May you all hold the good memories.

Funny, generous, and warm to the whole family, my Godfather will be truly missed. "Herman" to my Dad, Uncle Eddie was the definition of the word "uncle." He not only wrote the book, he bound it.
I'm truly grateful we were able to facetime with him last year, and see the wonder in his eyes.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
