Eddie was born in Ravenna, Ohio and graduated from Southeast High School, where he was a wrestling star (he loved to talk about the glory days). He married his high school sweetheart, Cindy and together they had three beautiful children and six grandchildren. Eddie was a devoted father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He loved spending time with his family and friends, watching The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Cleveland Browns and making sure everyone was happy. He was the life of the party and the most loyal and loving person anyone could have ever met. His kids would say he was invincible.
