Where to start with regards to Eddie…. I knew him for about 7 years in Dubai and have learnt that if you ever meet anyone in the airline world and say “do you know Eddie?”, a big smile will grow on the other person’s face and they’ll nod knowingly. He was an absolute star and all round fabulous bloke – no party really started until Eddie turned up.
I was fortunate to have worked with him and been out on many nights with Eddie, and the best of all, was on a trip to Brussels, where I didn’t stop crying with laughter the whole time.
Eddie, you’ll be sorely missed.
My sympathies go to all his friends and family.
