Growing up Eddie worked at his father’s paint store and started painting houses while in High School. While Eddie had many jobs his primary jobs involved painting. Eddie painted many homes in the St. Augustine, including some historic homes, area over the years. Eddie loved the ocean and throughout his adult life never lived far from the beach. For the past twenty years Eddie called St Augustine home and had many friends in the community. Eddie will be remembered as a kind and loving man who set his own course in life and lived on his own terms. Eddie loved animals, especially dogs, and adopted and cared for at least six rescue dogs. When visiting the animal shelter he would ask which dog was most in need of adopting and selected that dog. Within a short time each dog, regardless of their breed, background, or demeanor, became a loyal loving companion. Eddie leaves behind Charlie, the last of his rescue dogs and his constant and loyal canine companion. Eddie’s family is seeing to it that Charlie will be placed in a loving home. A celebration of life will be planned at some point in the near future. Donations can be made in Eddie’s name to the St Augustine Humane Society.
