I remember Eddie very well. We were close friends in Jr. High. He was a sweetheart. Sad to hear of his passing.

I always liked Eddie. I remember a detailed conversation about his apprehension in taking over the family business vs. striking out on his own. He will be missed.

I remember always seeing Eddie at Farrell's store across from the Lake Theater. He was always in the comic book section looking at every issue. Years later I remember going in his house and seeing he had 100s of comic books. He even had a band in Jr High that covered the Beatles and other British bands. If I remember correctly Don Fisher was the drummer too. I thought they were pretty gutsy to have a band back then. Rest In Peace old friend.

Farewell Eddie, really enjoyed those early 60's days spent at the store and your comic books.
