We have fond memories of Eddie going back many years – he was full of life and fun. Hard work was no problem to this strong man. He was very obliging and decent. Eddie was also knowledgeable and naturally skilled in certain trades. Family and home were always important to him and he was greatly influenced by his earlier life in Breaffy. May Eddie rest in peace.
