On behalf of the Allison family, condolences to Eddie's loved ones.I didn't know the man pictured here. But I asked about him whenever I came home. After a closer look, a younger Eddie from school appears, then him pounding his base-drum and snare to "Alley Lights" with Baby Willie and the Fantastics around town and at block parties.Banging on his drums, his eyeglasses would slide down his nose but were always secured by a strap. Like me, everyone who knew this gentle soul will never forget such a special friend that meant so much to our lives. Most could imagine Eddie, Baby Willie and Winkle playing our favorites whenever we meet again.
