I remember Eddie well from the 1960’s and early 70’s. Back in those days I worked for Tom Short, and Tom and Eddie were good friends. I want to say at that time Eddie was selling cars. Later he and Tom did some work with Levitz Furniture. I have fond memories of what a likable guy he was and his wonderful sense of humor. Sorry for your loss.
