#41 Todd Woerpel 2012-02-25 02:32 I am saddened by the news of Eddie's passing. Eddie and I spent many hours discussing the broadcasting industry of which he was very passionate and loved so much, he was a great competitor and friend.
Seeing the comments above and hearing so many people comment about him, is a tribute to how many lives Eddie touched.
I hope time will help to ease your sorrow and the pain of your loss. Quote

#43 Dr. Lester Sitzes III 2012-03-08 05:51 Eddie, my buddy. You are missed here in Hope also. Dr. Ross Atkinson and your brother Billy kept me up on you these last few years.
We had some good times in those early years in Gurdon. Bubba, Cindy, Darlene, Phillip, Gary, Kim, Ruth Ann and so many more. Back then we didn't have video games and cwll phones but we found plenty of things to keep us occupied. And you were always the leader.
Thank goodness we went to college just across the Ravine from each other so we got to visit from time to time.
I used to listen to KLAZ just to catch you on the air. Sounds funny I know but I was proud of you and liked to tell folks I knew YOU !!
See you again someday my old buddy.
