I remember this, it was his birthday Dec 14 2016, he wasn't a fan of anyone getting him a birthday cake, until he got this. He had the biggest smile on his face. Eddy was the biggest & most die hard Cubs fan ever. He was an amazing guy & it was an honor & pleasure to work with him! I'm a better person because for the short time I worked with him he made my life that much better!

Such a funny man, always liked it when he was working. Remember your Mom also, remember when she was in the Bty Shop and we found out she vacuumed her sidewalk. So sorry for your loss.

Eddy was the PR guy at Piggly Wiggly. He always greeted me with a huge smile and a short story. He brightened the day for everyone as he bagged or moved about the store. Will certainly miss him. -Rog Severson

Eddie was such a nice man. I don't think I ever heard him say a bad word about anybody. Loved visiting with him when he would bartend at the Legion for the Veteran's Day breakfast. I also think often about him and Esther at the Corner Bar. He'd be talking and Esther would be smiling. He'll be missed by anybody that had the privilege to know him. My sympathy to his family. Know he is now with the love of his life.
