Eddie worked at Ga Ports Authority for 40 years. He was the first crane operator to work for GPA.

Eddie was a Mason and belonged to the Shriners. He loved sports and coached the South Side Riders in both Baseball and Football. He won several championships in both. Eddie loved to play golf but couldn't after his car crash in 1996 and a work accident.

Eddie had many friends who worked at GPA. Two were as close as family: Bruce and Cathy Wilds, Jim and Roberta Beasley. Also as close as family were Donna and Kevin Miller. 

We met Donna after Eddie became bedbound and could no longer do things for himself. She cared for him for four years. Eddie loved life and devoted his life to taking care of Lake Jericho. He was President of the Home Owners Association for years. He retired earlier this year due to health reasons. Eddie was a true Georgia Bulldogs and Atlanta Braves fan. His family, friends, and beloved pet Dixie will miss him.
