Jeanne, Eddie, Jr., Josh and families,

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear husband and dad. Please be assured of my prayers. You have always been a close family and I hope and pray that the good memories will bring you peace and comfort. I have a very nice memory to share. Shortly after I moved to Reiher Road and met y’all, I learned that Ed, Sr., remembered my brother, who had just passed away the year before. They had gone to St. Dominic School in Lakeview together. Your dad was kind enough to “dig up” a school paper that mentioned my brother and he gave me a copy. It was a comfort to me and a connection to your family. I will always be grateful for that.

All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can do to help you through this difficult time, please call on me.

God bless all and my love to all,

Marie

We lived next door to you when we were kids in grammar school and became friends. My mom absolutely loved you and you called her L'il Mama. I'll always remember you.. Rest in peace my old friend.

Eddie,
I have quite a few memories of your dad mostly around the office. He had such a great demeanor. I loved his simple sense of humor. Always had something to say. He loved to give me grief and we'd laugh about it. We ran into he and your mom at the trailhead several times, yes they were always together. That alone is such a great testament of there marriage. I would always rag him about the manhole cover in his garden. I'd say some where in NOLA somebody's gonna fall in a hole. Also i'd rag him about the telephone booths he had. one upstairs and one outside. your parents have such a flair for life. I hope i will make it as long as he did! Prayers to your mom and family.

Eddie and I were friends. We shared many stories of family and our careers dating back to the 'Good old days' up until and after retirement. Eddie loved to eat and also loved buffets. We would swap photos of certain dishes each of us enjoyed. He was a matter of fact guy that I grew to appreciate for that trait. Eddie was a Southerner and I am a "Yankee" from Ohio that never mattered to our friendship. I miss him already. God Bless Jeanne and the family.

Dear Jeanne,
I was so sad to read of you and your family’s great loss. I always enjoyed running into you two while out and about. Eddie was always so sweet and thoughtful talking about the “Lakeview days”. I sent a picture of his obituary to my brother Don in California. Rest In peace, Eddie and love and hugs to you, Jeanne.

So sorry for your loss. Your dad was a great person and always made me feel so welcomed whenever I would visit. He will surely be missed by all who knew him. May your memories bring you happiness not sadness.
