I worked with Eddie. He was so pleasant and helpful as I was learning to be a letter carrier and I often would find myself confiding in him. After Eddie retired, I would sometimes see him visiting Mr. Smith on my route. I found it amazing that twenty-some years after telling him something, he would see me and ask me about some of those things. He always made my day happier. He was a joyous and wonderful, dear person. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
