Dan,
We want to extend our most heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I had a lot of laughs with your dad over the years. He was a good man that served his community, city and country honorably for most of his life.
Godspeed,

I will always remember Uncle Eddie's big smile and happy go lucky demeaner. He was my favorite uncle and I was lucky to have spent so much time with him, and my cousins, especially Jean; during the summers in Boston. He took us out for Chinese food every summer I was there and always encouraged us to go out and have fun, but to behave and be safe. I can't say we always behaved... It doesn't seem like much but I am so glad that I will always have these great memories of him. My cousins had a great father and Aunt Jeannie a great husband! RIP Uncle Eddie. You will be missed.
