Eddie left his family and friends with many fond memories. Memories such as building things and working alongside him in the garden. He always greeted his loved ones with a smile and a hug, and always made sure to say “I Love You and be safe” whenever they saw or talked to him. The family will cherish the way he loved and protected his grandchildren with all his heart.
