Although I didn't know Eddie well, I remember him as a solid guy with a shy, funny sense of humor. He would sometimes hang out with Richard Montague (who is still missing on the Missing Classmates list); I found this to be an intriguing friendship. I was hoping to reconnect with both of them on this Virtual Reunion website. I am sad that this can not happen with Eddie. RIP
Eddie and I spent many a Friday evening playing poker up on Woolper Avenue with Jim Finger and other young Runyonesque characters. In junior high school he was a very advanced player who I found to be quite a formidable opponent . He also had a great sense of humor .We drifted apart after he left Walnut Hills but I am not surprised at how successful he was. I was sorry to learn of his passing.

Eddie and I were friends, but like so many from Walnut Hills, I lost touch with him after High School.
I did not realize he was a Marine and served in Viet Nam about the same time I did:
And when he gets to heaven,
To St. Peter he will tell,
"Another Marine reporting, Sir,
I've served my time in Hell!"

Eddie Siddons and I were in the same Boy Scout troop, Troop 3, in Clifton for awhile. He was a quirky, but by no means unpleasant, guy.
