Edward (Ed) (Eddy), 72 of Independence, Missouri passed away January 25, 2021.
He was born in Jackson County, Missouri to his parents Robert James Goff and Eula Mae (Batten) Goff-Cunningham.

However, over the years his work ethic, lunch box and thermos would accompany him to Marshall Junction and Sedalia for work opening and closing quarries throughout his career.
In his leisure time he loved to just take a drive. There were times he would end up in another state for dinner but, the most enjoyment came when he would drive across country just to visit family or gambling on the boats. In his earlier years, hunting and bowling were among his favorite pastimes.

The very first time I met Uncle Eddie was in 1988. Dale baby Janae and I came to visit. We were staying with Pat and her boyfriend Bob. We had just gone to bed. Eddie came banging on the door and Dale and Pat answered it. I stayed in bed. Next thing I know this good looking old man jumps in bed with me and starts kissing my neck !! I could have died from embarrassment! He was a funny guy.
RIP Uncle Edward ?
