I adored this sweet, kind,, charismatic and loving man. He was top-notch and adored his beautiful wife like no other. He was an outstanding friend and incredible person. His smiling, handsome face and energetic, charming personality will forever lit up my memories as a symbol of happy, carefree summer days. What a true friend he was to my family, and how missed he will be. We send our love, thoughts and prayers to his wonderful equal, Ginny. We take solace in the pain of their separation after a long and happy life together in knowing that they will surely be reunited again in God's kingdom. All of our love to the family Eddie left behind.

Dear Jim, Ellen & Family - Your dad was a great guy and I enjoyed working for him the short time I did. He was a role model of how to treat employees - taking time to get to know everyone by name and doing little things like saying thanks when I did stuff for him. Please know you & your family are in our prayers!
