"I went to school with Eddie, he was a nice person and kind to everyone
Linda Russell, BayApril 5, 2025
"Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. I, My husband Bo, who is no longer with us and our two sons, Bo and Daniel, lived next door to your family for many years. Eddie and Bo had known each other for many years. Then I became friends with Eddie and Sherry. He was such a nice man. He never had a bad word to say about anyone. He was truly a great neighbor and friend and will be missed by many.
