I am sorry to hear of the passing of Eddie. I have some vague memories of him at my Aunt Junes when I was younger and they were always good. My condolences to the family and he will be missed by everyone whose life he touched. Wendy Quinn

Ken Kilgore So sorry to hear about Eddie's death. He was a great guy and had a great sense of humor. Eddie was an excellent boxer, and I have great memories of watching him box at the Labor Temple. He will be missed.
