As the son of an immigrant growing up poor during the Depression in Norfolk, Virginia, Eddie learned indelible lessons about hard work, ingenuity, standing up, keeping the faith, and giving back that defined his life and set the course for the way we do business and interact with our community. We are pleased to share this collection of stories from Eddie’s youth and a glimpse of the intriguing life he led.
Surprised and confused by unexplainable experiences in church, at home, and in the street, Eddie is admonished to keep quiet about the mystical lights that feed his sense of wonder and belief.
