Eddie was a very close friend throughout high school and one I relied upon for advice. Eddie and Bobby Collins were my wingmen (before I knew what that was) every day Senior Year as I tried to impress Julia Cauthen at lunch. Looking back, I can certainly see that he would choose his life's work in ministry and be good at it. Another good man dies young.
