My heart is with you and the family as you go through this difficult time! Your Dad was always such a good man. I know he was looking forward to his retirement and then this happen. I will never forget chatting with him over the fence as he had his smoke! Big hugs and if you need anything let me know.

Eddie, we met at Johanna in 2009 and I’ve enjoyed everything we did together as mechanics working 3rd shift. You taught me a lot as I taught you a lot. I was very saddened when you retired but you deserved it without doubt. Im really depressed that we didn’t get the time to meet up and have breakfast or lunch after you retired. I’ll always miss our conversations about food and recipes. Rest in peace my dear friend
