The events of September 11th paled into insignificance (no disrespect intended) on November 13th 2001 when I received the phone call telling me I would never see my Best Friend ever again. Eddie was the first person that befriended me when, as a snotty nose kid of 10yrs I arrived at his school absolutely terrified of what may become of me, Eddie gave me the confidence to survive those settling in days and has been my pillar of strength since.
Eddie lived life to the full and has made me laugh for the last 32yrs he has also been responsible for many a day lost to that alcoholic haze that follows the night before.
It has been a pleasure and a privalidge to have shared the life of one so Kind, Loving, Generous, Funny, Trusting etc. etc. Always a man of action, a truly Great Man, A truly Great Friend I will Love and miss you forever.
Ps. The Funeral will be held at 11am on 26/11/2001 at Christ the King Church, Amos Avenue, Newton Heath, Manchester, England.
Followed by a celebration of his life (in true Eddie style) location to be arranged, will keep you posted.
