Eddie was a caring, kind and loving man who loved talking and joking with people. But when he was serious, he meant business. He loved watching old western movies, football, basketball, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune while waiting to eat dinner. His favorite food to eat was old fashioned glazed doughnuts which most of the time would spoil his appetite before dinner was served.

Eddie loved to work on cars and run to all the junkyards for car parts. He also loved listening to music and sitting in his Toyota eating his chocolate frosty with a big smile, loving life. You could always find him somewhere around the garage admiring the sun and nature.
