Eddie had a huge heart for anyone or anything in need. Whether it was helping someone move, helping a friend through personal struggles, helping an addict find recovery or helping ducklings out from under a sewer grate (true story). Eddie found much joy in being of service and kept most of his altruistic acts to himself. His deep love of music brought him into performance with a Club EP released in Switzerland in the 1990s, He felt most alive and with Spirit anytime he could jump on one of his motorcycles and be in the wind.
