Great man to know and raised a great son. I knew Eddie through his son Jason. He would come to visit us and was always good for a laugh and had a smile on his face. He was a good man.

I loved Eddie he was 1 of my favorite customers for 18 years when I worked at Big time Cafe. Always smiling and making people laugh. Greatest man it's a big loss for us but God is in for a treat.

I was saddened to hear of Eddie's passing. I have honestly never seen Eddie when he was smiling ear to ear, and always had a joke to tell. Rest easy buddy. Prayers for his family and friends
