So sorry to hear about Eddie's passing. I remember how Eddie always had a smile and a kind word for me. Family and friends are in my prayers and thoughts. Rest in peace Eddie and may you find comfort in the arms of the angels.

"To Eddie's Family & Friends Eddie and I were childhood friends and used to walk to school together when we were just little kids. I knew him in highschool as well and we graduated in the same class. He and I played trumpets in the BHS band, but he was a much better horn player than I. Eddie was always smiling and happy as a kid and was a good friend to us all. Although many of us in the class of 1965 have lost touch with one another, Eddie was one of those friends you never forget. My prayers and thoughts are with you. May the good Lord comfort and bless you."

To Nelson and the rest of the Smith Family: Sorry to hear about your loss. We will all miss Eddie. I will keep you in my prayers. May God forever keep you in the palm of his hands and may he forever comfort you in your hour of sorrow.
