| Notes |
- Being the youngest brother of three rowdy boys could not have been easy for Eddie but he was, in fact, quite personable and family-oriented. He was too young to hang out with Alan and I but was a best friend to David and Scott. We called him Skettie when he was young and then Big Ed and finally Big Head, a nickname that we still used at the time of his passing.
A story from Elaine: When she went into labor with Eddie, she went to the old hospital in Texas City. That hospital had a clinic in front and the actual hospital was across the alley in the back. The nurse put her on a gurney and pushed her out the back door of the clinic and Eddie was born in the alley before they could get through the doors of the hospital.
His name was supposted to have been Dean Walter but they decided they had enough DWTs so they made it Edward Dean.
