Three daughters, Carmen and Crystal (Missy) Hammond both of Lancaster and Stephanie Folks of Atglen.

That Dip was his trade mark I
That Dip was his trade mark I would see him dressed as a child and thought that was the coolest thing in the world that Dip. He was a good man and fought that great fight. Family I send my prayers and sympathy to you all. He will be missed. But I wont you to take these words to heart.
Boys ask questions..Men give answers!!! Boys play house...Men build homes!!! Boys shack up..Men get married!!! Boys make babies..Men raise children!!! A boy won't raise his own children, a man will raise his and someone else's!!! Boys invent excuses for failure..Men produce strategies for success!!! Boys look for somebody to take care of them..Men look for someone to take care of. Boys seek popularity… Men demand respect and know how to give it. And Mr. Eddie was that man
But also I ask you to take these words with you
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he’s gone,
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can shed tears or you can smile because he has lived.
