I met Eddie and Theresa when I worked for American Eagle in Lynchburg, VA and I think I really got to know them both in Raleigh, NC working RDU.  We would go out on the lake with Jim Kellogg on his boat and do water skiing in our spare time, we always hung out and did things as a group when we were with American Eagle.  I don't have a lot of pictures from that period in our lives but we lived American Eagle together.   Bon Jovi quotes were commonplace and always having to fix the Shorts SD-330 flying winnebago's he flew when they came in!  It wasn't to last, as life swept us away in different directions.  I went to Delta Airlines, and he got on with US air at the time.  God speed Eddie, you were a great friend!  We fought some battles together back then and I will always have the memories of those days forever!  God bless Theresa and family for your loss.  My heart is broken.

To my beautiful curly haired cousin. I, unfortunately, didn't get to see you all much, but I'm glad you two were at my wedding. I am incredibly grateful that you guys came out to AZ after my mom died. That was huge. Glad my kids got see you and Eddie. And, I was lucky enough to witness a live version of Livin' on a Prayer  by Eddie. I'm sure all of us who hear it will think of him:)

XOXO 

Sheree, Tommy, Jake, Cole and Ali

I was in Italy when I heard the news from a friend. Only the news of Eddie could still find me when I was trying to escape from everybody else! I can’t say enough about Eddie, what an awesome dude - had the pleasure of working with him not only flying the line but also as a student when I was working in the training dept. Eddie was the consummate professional but would always bring a smile to your face and a laugh from your belly. Heartfelt thoughts and prayers to your family. Wishing you fair winds and happy landings brother, I’ll see you on the other side
