Dorothy and Family, I’m thinking of you all. My sympathies.
We shall always remember Eddie as a young boy and him being at all the family functions and enjoying himself with all the others. Eddie was so adored by all the members of his family and was loved so much by everyone. He will sadly be missed by all of us but will never be forgotten. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Dorothy as we try to cope with Eddie’s loss at this very difficult time. May God reserve a very special place for Eddie and let him know that we miss him so much.
Sad day. We worked together for many years at wake stone Corp. I rode across the country many times with Ed and have met so many people with him. He has a many friends from all over and will be truly missed.
Spent a few days with Dynamite Ed back in April, had a great time riding across Texas Hill country, Truly a good friend and will be greatly missed! DAD from Texas
