“Eddie... Was like a older brother to me and a great fishing partner for many years... Your fishing pole is forever on my boat as a memorial to "my brother"... "Captain Eddie"... was a fine man, a loyal and good friend to my husband and a brother in faith... You will be truly missed, Jim and Kathryn Gruber”
