Eddie was a joy to all who loved him or knew him. He was a quiet simple man with the heart of gold. I adored him from childhood on and I always knew I had the best brothers God could have given me.
We didn't have much time together in adult life but the childhood years we had lasted me a lifetime.
Eddies role in my life was that of father/mother/ big brother and protector and a loyal friend. He was an inspiration to go the extra mile. Close to the end of his life his wife called me to tell me, Eddie was suddenly blinded & although he could no longer see my pictures he wanted to tell me the image of his little sis was forever impressed in his heart.
Loosing Eddie Boy was one of the saddest moments in my life.
Eddie was a veteran of USAF{served in Korean conflict}
He was a huge Yankees fan and he knew all about baseball in fact he taught me how to play.
Destiny big brother, Destiny
Eddie succomed to leukemia
