After retirement, Eddie enjoyed traveling with his wife and family and their many trips to Florida, when he was still able. He enjoyed attending his grandsons sporting events, he had a passion for food and always knew where to find the best steak. Eddie never missed the chance to tell a joke and make us laugh with his crazy sense of humor.
