Eddie unexpectedly passed away on Sunday 1st May, at just 60 years of age. A terrible shock to all that knew him and a loss that his family still can't comprehend.

Never a lover of flowers or extravagant events, we kindly ask as a family that instead of sending flowers for Eddie's funeral, donations are made in his memory, to our chosen charity Dogs for Autism. Dogs for Autism is a cause that combines everything Eddie loved dearly  - his dog and helping others out in anyway he could!

Dogs for Autism train and provide assistance dogs, at no charge, to autistic individuals of any age who will significantly benefit from such a partnership. These dogs enable people to more easily access the world around them and to expand their horizons.

Touched by the number of people who knew him, we ask for anybody that can, to help us raise as much money as possible for this amazing cause. Eddie's family would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody for their kind words, cards and flowers that have been received over the past few weeks. 

Final funeral arrangements still to be confirmed.
