Condolences to Cindy and family. Eddie was a good man, none better. We enjoyed hunting and softball when he worked at Macs. Proud he made me one of the “Bubbas”. He’ll be missed.
Cindy, I am so sorry to hear about Eddie. I guess I have known Eddie since he was about 18 years old. Working for my dad at the alternator shop and then at the salvage yard. We worked together many years. I have fond memories of the time there with him, Roy, Jerry Lee and Donald Wayne. I have a video of Eddie operating the crusher. So many memories. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Andrea & Russell and Mitzi
