i only had the chance to talk to eddie in summer 2008 at tim's house. i had the impression to talk to a very self confident man, who has done certainly much and knew how to discuss about music. i remember talking to him about surf, music, touring, money, stage, old times. lorenzo —Lorenzo "Surfer Joe" Valdambrini |

I'll be visiting Eddie again this morning. Thanks to all those who have sent their wishes to Eddie. I'm not ashamed to say I became a bit misty eyed over some of the beautiful messages that have been sent to Eddie. Any message sent by 10 AM PDT today will be in Eddie's hands today. |

Thanks for the updates Tim. One of my personal highlights musically was having Eddie join The Secret Samurai to play lead on Dark Eyes at the 1st SG101 convention. I feel very fortunate to have been able to meet Eddie and talk with him on several occasions. He is a massive influence on so many in surf guitardom. Our thoughts are with you Eddie! —Ryan |

Joe Kurkowski and I just returned for visiting Eddie. His time with us is very very short. They are doing their best to keep him comfortable. |

My sympathies to everyone who personally knows him. Loosing a friend is always painful. I wish I had something wonderful to say now but I don't. I watched this too many times. To Eddie that I haven't met, I love your music and best wishes. |

To Eddie, sending positive thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Godspeed to you. Even though alot of us have never met you personally, we feel like you're a close friend to all of us here at sg101. You are somebody that has made our lives better musically and spiritually. You have made some of the greatest surf music and we thank you for this. Your music will never be forgotten, and will be passed down to future generations. Warmest regards, Howard L |
