BOBBY SUNRISE wrote a sympathy message

“Even when we know its part of life, we are never ready to say goodbye forever. We are all saddened for losing someone so dear to our hearts. We are not only mourning Eddies death but also celebrating his life. I will always remember the great times we spent together in Arizona hiking up to the top of a mountain just to witness a beautiful sunset over the city of Phoenix or visiting North Sydney and eating lobsters many years ago. He help me get through a very difficult time when my father died.”
