Eddie was this rock solid defender for the Tahihiti Soccer Club 70's - 80's. Great friend who would give you the shirt off his back. A man of few words but someone you could always count on, that was on and off the field. He lived life pretty much the same way, solid person you could always count on to do more than his share carrying more than his load to help his team family or fellow workers.
I will miss but continue to love my brother and pray for his family in their hour of need.
Aloha....Aloha...Aloha
Till we all get to play together again.

Wonderful memories of Eddie and his Family. He was industrious, independent, reliable, very loving, and had a great sense of humor. As a Soccer Referee of all ages, he was very knowledgeable of the rules; his main focus was for safety and fairness--to allow the players to enjoy the game. Other friends (Alves Shiu, Laine Skiendiel, and Steve Legare) shared in his warmth. His funny stories, jokes, and laughter delighted so many of us--we loved laughing with him. Ken Bogowitz and I (Sherri Ward) have thought of him and his Family often over the years. We love all of you. Blessings on the Family; may the Lord be with you. Warmest Aloha and many hugs. Ken Bogowitz & Sherri Ward
