Eddie met the love of his life Carol Ann in the early 1980s while playing frisbee with his close friends in their hometown. This encounter blossomed into a beautiful marriage that lasted 43 years, resulting in a precious daughter named Michelle Faith in 1982. Together, they shared simple but cherished moments, such as their beloved “Bundy” vacations spent watching movies at home.

Eddie had a passion for adventure, often taking his daughter Michelle on exhilarating Harley motorcycle rides.

Family barbecues were a favorite pastime for Eddie, who prided himself as the ultimate charcoal grill master. He delighted in preparing steaks for his loved ones and hockey pucks for his beloved wife.
