[Otclassof1973] Class 73................Sad News

[Morey Garelick]

I had a good time with Eddie on that day, somewhere between 1979 and
1981, even though I wouldn't mention that experience if I were writing a
reference for him.  It's sad that he died, but I have to say his
obituary gave me a little bit of a good feeling -- it seems like things
turned out OK for him.

When I was a little kid living in Wanamassa (we moved to Wayside in
1964), Eddie lived a few houses away from me and we were young buddies.
Eddie was a good kid but trouble, even then, jumped him every time he
did something.  He'd get in trouble for going to church,; he'd get in
trouble for not going to church.  He'd get in trouble for talking in
class; he'd get in trouble for not talking in class.  No matter what he
did, he was always getting into hot water, somewhere.

In the mid-90s, after not having seen him for years, Eddie began
stopping by my place in Asbury Park.  Sometimes he'd bring the Press by,
sometime we'd just grab lunch and shoot the breeze about the old
Evergreen Avenue days.  It was good to get re-acquainted after all those
years.

I closed the business in the fall of 1996; the last time I saw Eddie was
sometime in August that year.  I knew he had been working (on and off)
at Freedman's and I knew he was still getting jumped by trouble from
time to time. But I never had any trouble with Eddie and he never had
any trouble with me.  I'm sad that he is gone.

	Master baker, that's pretty cool.  And the jazz festival,
alright.
