Uncle Eddie as I fondly new him was a beautiful soul full of warmth and humor and love of family.   It was always a great adventure to visit him and his family in Horseheads New York.     What always stayed with me was his deep faith --- when my mom was ill, he supported us so much with his many wonderful thoughts and messages.   My thoughts and prayers are with you Aunt Millie and your family.  I know he loved you all --- and may you find comfort from each other and the memories you share.
