Deb,Doug, Erika and Chris, So very sorry to hear of Eddies passing. We will always treasure the good times and fond memories we shared with Eddie over the years Especially, when he worked for Cushman’s Bakery. On my summer vacations he would always pick me up ( Billy) to help him with the bread deliveries. We had so many good laughs together. It was on that same truck, Eddie taught me how to drive a stick shift. Oh, What a ride it was! ! ! Rest In Peace dear friend, You will be sadly missed. Billy & Karen

We met 72 years ago……Gardella’s vs Davoren’s in the Milford Little league…..he was one of the “VERY VERY” best….we were all afraid of him as a pitcher, but later realized it was respect for his ability…..in years to come we played on the red team in the “combat league “ (basketball) needless to say he was “the best”. From our childhood to adulthood although you lose touch…..you NEVER forget friends and EDWARD J……you were my friend….God take care of him…..to the family , my family sends our deepest sympathy…..God bless you all.

Gunner was one of a kind! He always put a smile on everyone’s face with a story, one-liner, or a trip down memory lane shared with myself, Manzi, Goose, and Benny. He will be sorely missed. My sincerest condolences to Debbie, Doug, Erika and Christian.
