Eddie will be remembered first as husband, daddy, grandpa, and great-grandpa; titles that were the most important to him always. Many will also remember him as a friend, mentor, bowler, golfer, business owner, bowling Hall of Fame inductee, passionate about sports, woodworker, movie lover and collector ‘for posterity’.
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to appreciate beauty and find beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.” RWEmerson
Eddie succeeded in all this and so much more. Forever to be missed.
Eddie will be laid to rest privately in Lyman, Utah. No services are currently scheduled. In lieu of flowers, or as a memorial, please consider a donation the American Diabetes Association.
