You will remain in our hearts forever
I always look forward to seeing you when you would stay with dad a couple days to go fishing with him. I still have the sketch you made of my first born daughter on her first birthday. Rest in peace brother.
Ed was one of my best friends in high school at Linn Mar. He definitely was the funniest! I have many wonderful memories of the fun times we had together. We also worked together at Hy-Vee and he kept me laughing there as well! I am very sorry to hear of his passing and I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. I will never forget Ed! He was one of a kind! Duane Eichenberger
To my best friend. Your brother was always your best friend growing up. Always looking over and out for you. Now it is my turn! May he rest in peace.
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Eddie. Eddie holds a special place in our hearts as our neighbor who immediately accepted us into the neighborhood 7 years ago. We loved spending time with him in our backyards – always talking about the Hawkeyes and Cubs games. We will never forget him and the special relationship he shared with our family. He called me Candace Cameron to remember my name and I’ll always think of him when I hear that name 🙂 Thank you for being a great neighbor Eddie! All our thoughts go out to your family during this difficult time. All our love – The Graybills
