Horrible news of the day: RIP EDDIE BO

[willie_fugal]

Extremely sad, but true. He passed away Wednesday night of a heart attack. His sister came in to tell my boss this morning. He was friends with my boss and I had the chance to meet him about a month ago. He was in bad financial shape, was talking about trying to sell some memorabilia to get some cash and I offered to help him sell some of his records, totally pro bono. He was SUCH a nice guy and was really happy that I was willing to help him. Now I feel bad that I never got to do so before he passed...To me, Eddie will always be

. For now, RIP to a lover & a friend:

oh man!!!!
well, you know what....dude is going to live forEVER.
unbelievable legacy.

that man is sunshine too...i saw him play at the rockn bowl and he was just all smiles. i asked if he had time to write something in my journal...he took it and disappeared. came back twenty minutes later and gave it back and it said something like "to a dear friend" or something totally not true and we had a laugh about it. i asked if he was going to play "lover and a friend" and he was like "well, i would need to go find the girl to do that one!" so cool.

hate to hear about hard financial straits for him...
that should have never happened.

RIP and thanks for everything. Eddie=good as it gets

ive been a fan of his for a long time, ever since i thrifted one of his Chess singles back in the mid-eighties. when i finally got to meet him 19 years later, it made the circle complete. R.I.P. to a legend.
