Im so sorry to hear of Eddy's passing. He was a good friend during our high school years. He always made me laugh and he was fun and funny. He used to stop by my house, 2 blocks from the high school and struck up a friendship with my dad. My dad really liked him and they would talk about my dad's years as an FBI agent. Ultimately my dad bought a car from Eddy and his brother-an old, black Plymouth with clutch, no power steering or power brakes. My dad used that car to teach me to drive-UGG! He wanted to be sure that I could always drive a "stick shift". I still have that ability if the occasion ever arises. I lost touch with Eddy after graduation but always looked for him at reunions. Finally, at our 50th, he tapped me on the shoulder during dinner and we had a short time to catch up and promised to find time to fill in the blanks of all those years. I regret we never had that time to bridge all those years. He was a true friend all those years ago and I'm sure his family is so proud of him. Sad news.
