Arlette and Family, Rick and I are so very sorry to hear of Eddie's passing. Rick has talked of Eddies easy going manner, how smart he was and that he liked to "tell tall tales" (or made up stories) and Rick and Benny would believe it! The BIG vacation to Italy camping and playing in the water with the inflatable boat that Eddie had and he ended up giving to Rick and Ben...The big monopoly games, Robert, Eddie, Ben & Rick playing in THE SNOW (the one time it snowed) in Texas and how they would visit and pull out the train set and run it all over the living room. So many fond memories, please know we will keep you in our prayers.
