He then worked on  Camp Drum for a few years as an equipment operator and  then at K B Motors in Adams, retiring due to injury.     Eddie is survived by a brother Mark T.

He was especially attentive to his three younger siblings whom he taught to drive stick shift and was their chauffeur until they were driving age. His love for hockey was fulfilled with a bottle of Molson Golden and Hockey Night in Canada routing for his L.A.
