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 ?
