Thank you Eddie for always being a caring man. Eddie always walked with me in the evening when I was walking my dog (Toni) to make sure I got home safely, he would always tell me to carry my cell phone and if I didn't have it on me ... he would scold me telling me how important it was to carry it. He would always tell stories that would make you laugh. My husband Patrick and I would like to tell Millie and Kathleen how truly sorry we are for your loss. All who knew Eddie feel the loss.
God Bless you all during this very difficult time of Sorrow.

Eddie was a good friend to my Father, Ronald Criegmuss. I know how much they enjoyed walking together and talking. Eddie always had a smile on his face when I'd come to my parent's house to pick up my son, who Eddie called "Little Ronnie". He had wonderful stories to tell and always a kind word to be shared. My husband Paul (who worked with Millie at Jennings School) and I extend our deepest sympathies to Eddie's family and friends. He will truly be missed.

Some of my fondest childhood memories were when I spent my summers in Mastic Beach with Kathleen and her parents. I'll always remember Eddie as full of fun and energy, kind and caring. I know this is a great loss for my childhood friend Kathleen, and I will keep her and her family in my prayers.
