  1. Eddie was one of the last best of the old Luther residents. We didn’t always see eye to eye but I respected him and I will miss him. He was a pillar of this community. I pray his wife and kids can carry in his memory he will be missed. We need more men like him.

    1. It’s heart breaking to think he won’t be with us anymore. He reminded me of my father and I and my family will miss him. He was a great man, I pray for his wife to find peace it’s so hard to loose someone that has been a part of your life for so many years. If I or my family can help in any way, please let us know.
