We will miss Eddie and his humor and kind ways. He was one of the first people we met when we arrived in Magnolia Park. Later he brought me lemons to make 2 dozen pies---ha,ha. He was always friendly and helpful. Eddie had a good full life and I think he probably enjoyed all of it.
God's peace be with you.
