Eddie was my oldest brother. He was 14 years older then me. So I don't remember to much about his early years. I do remember him teaching me to throw a football. He went into the Navy and when he returned home he gave me about a three foot doll. I loved that doll.
Eddie was always a happy guy. He talked about cooking and gardening often. Loved his children very much. He will be missed.

Eddie was my Big Brother. He was very protective of me when growing up and always told me if any boy bothered me, to let him know and he would deal with him. When he started working he would give me 75 cents to go skating when my Mother wouldn’t give it to me. I remember when he was in the Navy, I tried on his blue uniform and it fit me! He was a small person so that was easy. He took a picture of me in his uniform but I don’t know what happened to it. We all played together and I remember one time we were playing “doctors”. We put a board across my Daddy’s saw horses and Eddie was our “patient”. He asked us to tie him to the board so we did. We didn’t know the board was not straight and it flipped over and fell. Eddie landed face down on the concrete and broke his two front teeth. We all felt so bad! We never played that again! Growing up, we loved to play outside with the neighborhood kids. We played football, baseball, kick ball and other games like Red Rover, Swing the Statue, One, Two, Three, Red Light. We also played track and field games. Eddie was always a good sports player. My memories of Eddie are all good. He was always there for me and we always got along. After I married, he even lived with us for a while. That’s when he met his first wife, Sherry, and the rest is history! Rita Hernandez
