Dear Gaddy family, I’m so sorry to hear of Eddy’s passing but rejoice with you, knowing that his suffering has also passed. Dr. Moffatt and I were blessed to participate in Eddy’s care. Eddy was truly a wonderful person.
It is with much regret that our paths never crossed in real life and we only ‘met’ through my correspondence with Phyllis. Nevertheless, in spite of not knowing you, I will miss you. Veronica

I will always remember Big Eddy as having an infectious smile! He could light up the room! A smile raises your spirits and makes others happy. A smile is the most powerful expression a person can have and pass on to others. I have seen his love for the Lord and I have seen the love he had for his family. My prayer for the Gaddy family is that those memories will forever live in each of your hearts. I feel blessed to have known such a happy and wonderful man. God Bless you all. I love you!
Lori and Little Eddy,
I was very saddened to hear of your GREAT loss. In my eyes, as a child, your Father was a ‘Gentle Giant’ that upon reflection was a great inspiration and a true blessing that I will forever hold dear. You and your entire family are being lifted up in prayer and I pray that your tears will quickly fade into the sweet memories of your Daddy.
TO THE FAMILY,
I MET EDDIE WHEN WE WORKED TOGETHER AT STONEBRIDGE. I ENJOYED TALKING TO HIM. HE WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON.HE WILL BE MISSED.
