I have known Eddie for more than 50 years. He was one of the most positive people that I have ever known. No matter whether you won or lost, no matter what kind of trouble you were in, Eddie always had positive comments for you. He really loved Dobyns Bennett. I feel honored to have known Eddie. If I can help his family in any way, please call on me.

I knew Mr. Eddie from his summer work he did at Link House! There wasn't a person there that didn't love him! He was so good with the kids! Especially the nick names he would give people and his screaming of the happy birthday song, always a hoot to be around! I packed many lunches for him and as long as it didn't involve mayo he was fine with whatever! A lovely man with a beautiful soul! We will all miss him so much!

Eddie was my coach in the sixth grade--in 1972--and yet I still rememeber his kind smile and the fact that he always seemed to be there on the sidelines as I grew up, graduated and moved on from Kingsport. He will always live in my memories of Kingsport and my thoughts of competing as a young man. I have a picture of the team from that year and it always takes me back to his love of the game. I was blessed to be coached by a man of his character. His family is in my prayers.

Linda,Gunnar, Courtney, and Whitney. We were out of town Sunday but wanted you to know how much we thought of you and Eddie. He loved you all and was proud of you. He was Mr. D.B. in our opinion. He will be missed ever time we watch the Indians play ball. As the saying goes, what Eddie did was something you could hang your hat on and be extremely proud of. We will remember you in our thoughts and prayers. May God Encourage and Give You Strength. John and Janice Brooks

Eddie and i attended Dobyns Bennett at the same he graduated a year ahead me. he was well respected and loved by his classmates. always seemed to me smiling and had much affection for his many friends. i am proud to say we were good friends, not to mention his competiveness and his love for DB. Eddie continued to serve as a coach and i serve may years in the Boys Clubs profession. on occassion our teams would compet in Kingsport and Shelby. Good memories for sure. a couple years ago i watched DB, and had the chance to talk briefly talk with Eddie. nothing had changed, he had big smile and positive sattitude. leory is right, it is the relations and i would add the memories in life that matter most.their is no question that Eddie' legacy will will never die and live on. he touched and helped many young people. i was blessed to have known him and call him my friend.
