Haymarket, VA Saturday, January 8, 2022 Wheaties’ FamilySo sorry. I knew Wheaties many years in Monticello, where we attended 1st Methodist Church together. He was a welcomed member of our Mens Coffee Group, as well as Mondays Lunch Bunch. Wheaties was always happy & connected with everyone. He was justifiably proud of his “Cajun” heritage. He was a decent & loving friend. Living at Grand Manor A/L Home with him brought many hours of joy & happiness to everyone who knew him. May God grant Wheaties’ Family comfort at this difficult time. I will miss Wheaties!

Sun City West, AZ Friday, January 7, 2022 I have great and fun memories of "Wheaties" as a friend and coach of our swimming team at MHS. I also am sad to see that he is no longer with us at Monticello. He was a very pleasant person to be around and knew very well how to laugh and enjoy life. Old football stories are really good about Eddie as he was funny even on the football field. Rest in peace my old coach and friend.LaNell McKiever
Monticello, AR Friday, January 7, 2022 He was Leslie's swimming coach when she was little and taught her how to dive and swim. He also went thru all of the garbage from the school cafeteria when she lost her teeth brace when she wrapped it up in a napkin and threw it away when she finished her lunch. He found it. Good to everyone he met, child or adult.Pat Matthews

Monticello, AR Thursday, January 6, 2022 So sorry to hear about CoachGary Newton
Monticello, AR Monday, January 3, 2022 So sorry to hear of Mr Ed’s passing. I got to know him a few years ago and instantly took a liking to him. Later, he roomed next to my mom at the assisted living facility in Warren where he made friends with her by picking at her. Initially, She was not one to care for his type of “picking on” but she soon learned what a mess he was and just played along with him. Mr Ed was a friend to many and will be missed by all who knew and loved him.Dale Haisty
