    So sorry to hear of the passing of "Eddie", a proud husband, father and former Marine. I had the honor of working with him for about 10 years in the early 70's- early 80's at the old East Side Station in Providence. We DID have some fun pranking each other and making work a little more light-hearted. Eddie was always quick-witted as well as being quick to laugh and extremely conscientious while performing work duties. My condolences to Norma and his "boys" and all that he left a positive impact on, of which I am sure there are many. - Dale Rogers
