On a sad note my brother Eddie passed away on Sunday January 23, 2022 after a long illness fighting COPD, heart arrhythmia and cancer. Eddie didn't want a big funeral and donated his organs to science. We did hold a memorial for Eddie on Sunday, June 5 at the San Carlos American Legion Hall where he used to frequent. Many of his friends from South City high school attended as well as his neighbors from his veterans housing complex and expressed their condolences. Pat Canavan, John Penna, Jim Dombrowski and Christine's husband had prepared eulogies. We also invited relatives and friends, including the receipent of the Eddie Booth Scholarship, and his father to attend a Giants game on Eddie's birthday June 7th in our own premium suite.
