    We will miss you so much, Eddie! Thank you for always being there for your family and for teaching us something new every single day 🩷. Eddie was such a generous, giving soul; he was constantly looking for secret ways to help the next person in need. He was a wonderful, often misunderstood man who truly would have given the shirt off his back to anyone.
