My heart hurts for Eddies family and loved ones. I'm in complete shock. He was a wonderful man in the time I knew him. May you all find peace.
I am very sad to hear about Eddie. We were classmates and 1979 graduates. Our birthdays only 11 days apart. Him being older. He was always very nice to me. We talked on Facebook some in our older years. I'm a cat person and he talked about his cat a lot. My sympathy goes out to his family. He will be missed so much.
sorry for your loss. Robert DePriest. BJHS
