Will miss Eddie in the Square:medal:️he was a kind soul and the kind of person that made our town feel like home
Eddie was such an amazing man. Always looked forward to seeing him at games, downtown or when giving him rides. He will always be remembered.
Dear Eddie: you were always the pride of Danvers! All three of my kids who graduated from Danvers high were proud to call you their friend. You knew all of their names, the sports they played, or even if they were in the band.
You will be dearly missed by this community and by every single life that you touched! And those lives were many more than you’ll ever imagine.
May you rest in peace our dear departed, friend, the life of Danvers itself :hearts::hearts:
One of a kind
A true Gem
Eddie when I met you for the first time I picked you hitch hiking down 62 we met only a few times but I knew right away how special you are. God bless you and what a gift it was for me to meet you and in heaven what a gift it will be for those waiting on your arrival. Randy
Eddie an icon in Danvers. Always seen at all sporting events through the years. And walking everywhere in town always carrying your duffle bag.. May you rest in peace. The Monroe family
Eddie was a true hero to the Danvers youth. Always with a kind and encouraging word. He will be missed.
My kids got a school picture of Eddie every year! Such a sweet soul:heart: as far as a memory goes, I remember seeing Eddie in Dunkins and I offered to buy him a cup of coffee. He said he’d rather have a sub from Betty Anne’s! So I drove him to Betty Anne’s and got him a sub, how could you not??
You made Danvers Smile Eddie. You will be missed.
RIP. Eddie. You will missed by more than you’ll ever know. Was a pleasure to know you.
The first time I met Eddie was at my daughter’s field hockey game at the Danvers High School. He immediately came up to me and introduced himself. After that I ran into him everywhere, downtown, the bank, my hairdresser, he was always happy to chat or help out and as he was leaving he would always look back and wave and say “you have a nice day now”. The town seemed a little less friendly, a little quieter when Eddie stopped walking around. He was a great person and very well known. I am glad that I got to meet him. Rest in peace Eddie, we should all be as joyful as you were. Judi Shooter
I used to go downtown and hang out at Goodies or Orange Leaf with my sister and friends. I remember one day sitting outside some stranger walked up to us asking if we needed a ride home and trying to convince us to go with him. Eddie came, sat down right next to us, said to the man that he was our grandfather and the man left. Eddie then took the time to walk my sister and I home and did everything he could to make us feel safe.
Eddie was very kind and down to earth to ever meet and he will be missed a lot from the town of Danvers
Rest in peace my friend:heart:🩹:pray::skin-tone-2::heart:🩹
Danvers was a better place because of you! Eddie will be sorely missed.
On behalf of the Winthrop High School Hockey coaching staff, we want to pass along our deepest condolences to Eddie’s family. We were saddened at the news and will always remember a very kind man who went out of his way to say hello and shake our hands before a game. His dedication and passion towards all the teams he supported was genuine and Danvers should be very proud to call him their own! RIP Eddie we will miss you!!
