Remembering Edward Rhea

Post by Kenny Davis »

It's been a year since Eddie's sudden passing. It's sad we don't have anymore friendly and informative posts that he would contribute on a regular basis. My thoughts and prayers are still with his wife and children.

This is how his friends probably remember him and his personality -

He surprised me at TSGA a couple of years ago and had his wife snap this photo. Always a big smile!

Nice fellow Eddie. We had a few conversations and deals here on the forum. Always pleasant and uplifting attitude.

I didn't know him like you did, but I still feel the world is a lesser place without his presence.

Thats exactly how I remember Eddie for sure ! He was always happy and such a fun person to be around. He came over to my house several times and fix things on my pedal steel and never would let me pay him...I loaned him steel material and thats about all he would take ! I do miss him very much ! The world needs more "Eddies" !!
