My dad was Bob Major, and worked in Garden Hill area in the 80's. Bob passed away November of 2011. He would've liked to pass condolences had he known. He knew Eddy in the 80's and gave my dad a painting framed one time and I have a hand sketch on mylar that he did of my dad. My dad often spoke of him. - Posted by: Rebecca Major (daughter of friend) on: Mar 07, 2012
