They were inseparable and exemplified the true epitome of soul mates. Eddie drove for various trucking companies throughout his career. He was a dedicated employee and found immense joy in his occupation. During the last ten years of his career, his entrepreneurial spirit became paramount and he worked as an owner/operator until his health began to fail and he entered retirement.
