What a shocker to read of Eddie’s passing. Sam always enjoyed shooting the breeze with him when they worked at Peabody together. I think he mooched some corn and a bunch of tomatoes one year when our garden didn’t pan out very well. When the two got together, there was always lots of laughter. My heart and prayers are with all of you. Treasure the memories – that’s where the healing lies.
