Eddie was born in Richmond on July 9, 1946. After graduating from George Wythe High School, he attended Chowan College and RPI and served in the United States Army Reserves from 1968-1974. He began his career as president of T.F. Frick & Company, which was founded by his grandfather. In 2000, Eddie and Marsha moved to Deltaville, and Eddie served as contractor, working mostly in Middlesex County.
Eddie was a quiet, thoughtful and hardworking man who enjoyed nothing more than his home on the Rappahannock River. He spent many hours fishing, boating in the Chesapeake Bay, and watching the river from his favorite rocking chair. He took great pleasure in observing the wildlife, changing tides, weather and seasons and he loved to share the beauty and bounty of the area with his family and friends.
The family is planning a celebration of life in the spring at their home in Deltaville.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Lower Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department, P.O. Box 440, Deltaville, VA 23043.
