Eddie and I were friends at WVU. He was a thoughtful and kind person. I have fond memories of him. I am so sorry for your loss.
Ed was one of my best friends.
Trained him as night auditor at Ramada Inn in Morgantown.
He was a sterling individual and will be missed.
Ed was a great person with a beautiful smile and had a huge heart. I’m saddened to just found out he is in heaven now and is at peace. God has another angel above our sky. We worked together in Richmond and he was my friend.My heart goes out to his family and I know Al is saddened as well.I sent him a birthday email as was wondering why he didn’t respond.
