My Deepest Condolences to my friend Charlie and his family on the loss of their brother Eddie. I was stunned to hear about his passing as it seemed like yesterday he was sitting in my office after (once again) bringing in doughnuts for the office. We always had colorful discussions about his next trade or acquisition, with Eddie always being steadfast that he'd come out on the best side of the deal. I knew of his health issues but he always spoke of them with a smile and a "what can you do" attitude. It is never easy losing anyone, but I hope and pray Eddie is happy and at peace and not trying to talk St. Peter into getting a better location in Heaven with a shed for his "toys". I'm sorry that I'll be out of town for his services, but know that he and his family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Goodbye my friend, see you on the other side. R.I.P.
