I am so sorry….Eddie and Theresa were wonderful. I will always remember them, and am thankful for the time they shared with me. You are in my thoughts and always in my heart. Please take care, my cousins. Love you, too.
I worked with Eddie in the mill, great guy, so sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your Father’s passing, I used to take care of him at the bank for many years and he always struck me as such a gentleman ~~~ I know he’ll be deeply missed by all who loved him. May God be with his family as you grieve. With sincere sympathy, Janice Petrovich Memory Eternal
My deepest sympathy to Eddie & Theresa’s family. Many years have passed since I’d left my hometown (Buffalo, NY), moving across country to Texas, settling in Minnesota, and I often regret that I hadn’t kept in steady contact with any of my relatives back in Penn, Ohio, W.Virginia. I’m very grateful that my wife and children did have a chance to meet some of my family along with Eddie & Theresa on a visit we made to Pittsburgh around 2004-2006. My son Alex still recalls the fun stories Eddie shared from his younger days. They where both simply wonderful to me when I was younger, and they will truly be missed. God Bless.
Dear Family, I would like you all to know that I loved your Dad very much. As a small child I remember your Dad at one of our family picnic’s when he came home from the service. He was a very tall man to me as a child and he had a wonderful smile. Since, my Dad just died he was one of the first men that smiled at me. In my child like thoughts, I wished he was my Dad. Of course I was 4 yrs old and thought like a child. As I grew up he was one of the most happy men in the family. Your Parents were so wonderful to me and will always love and pray for them. God Bless, Lee Nadolski
Dear Rick,Debbie, Chris, Tom, Cindy Paul, Joe and Elizabeth: How well I remember your Dad and Mom and all the fun times we had. I remember when your Dad said he was getting married to the most beautiful girl in the world. At that time I was ten or eleven years old. And I was included in attending the wedding shower, which was a big thing for a little girl. And I met Theresa and Eddie was right! She was beautiful! She came over and gave me a big hug. I stayed with your Mom and Dad quite a few times and laughed until I cried. When I said I was going to sleep ( it was 11:30P,M.) they said it was early yet. So I sat and watched OLD movies with your Dad and watched TV with your Mom. They timed me every half-hour I was moving from one room to the next. What fun!! And poor boo he was so confused and so was I. I will miss them more than you know. They were wonderful. With love, Kay
