    My husband Doug Brown’s positive role model. Eddie was a Nobel human being!!! His family was his life. I don’t think he ever retired completely! Hard working man and every job he did was done to the best of his ability. He liked mom and pop restaurants. He and others were regulars at the restaurants swapping their life’s stories and then some. I am honored to tell anyone all of what Eddie conversed over coffee. God Bless you my friend R.I.P.
