It is with deep sorrow that I learned of Eddie passing. I remember him fondly from PBHS and he truly was one of the good guys. He will be sorely missed and remembered with great fondness.

Betsy and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Eddie was a great man. I left Goshen back in the '70's and whenever I came back for a visit and spoke with him, it was like I had never left. He made it that easy. I will be remembering you in my prayers. Andy
