I still think of you and miss you everyday! You were and always will be my dad! You raised me from a very young age and took on the role of “dad” and loved me so much! You taught me how so many life lessons! From how to become and a great chess player, to learning how to drive. You taught me how to respect myself and others. 
You were there for the births all my children, your grandchildren! Ohh how they loved their PawPaw! They’re all grown up now and thriving! You would be so proud! I love you and can’t wait to see you again!  With all my love, Your daughter Daphne ♥️

Love and prayers to you Robyn and your sweet family at this time of extreme grief.   I am so glad you all have each other to get through the difficult days ahead.  The photos show a strong loving family.  Please remember that you all have friends and God's love especially when you need it most.  Thinking of you especially at this sad time.    Brenda Whitaker

Eddie was a great guy, had a sense of humor and humanity, liked people, worked hard and lived hard. I knew him through his many years as a sub for Habitat for Humanity in Nashville. My favorite memory of him outside of work was a fishing trip we took to FL. 
My condolences to his family.
