Eddie embodied his life motto, "If I have some, then you have some too." He was a generous man. An avid Toronto Maple Leafs fan, Eddie enjoyed watching hockey, oldies music and westerns. Earlier in life Eddie enjoyed a night out at the casino, getting the boat out, fishing, hunting and time at the cottage with family. More recently Eddie loved riding around the city on his beloved 'Tessie’ connecting with the community & snacking on ice cream. Eddie’s Hamilton friends, including Mario, Jim, Jass, Rose, Robin and the late Jordan D, held a special place in his heart.

To know Eddie, was to share laughter. Through his final days, Eddie never wavered. He lived each day with gratitude, jokes and considerate care and concern for his family.

Eddie’s legacy of kindness and compassion will live on in the memories and he will forever be remembered by those who loved him.
