Eddie was a special person to myself and many others. I know that he was loved very much by his parents, brother, and son. It is hard to believe such a good person was taken from us. Eddie, or "Stump" to us, will always be remembered. We love you Eddie!!

GOD BLESS THE CATOE FAMILY. STUMP WAS A DEDICATED POLICE OFFICER. I KNEW HIM BACK IN HIS BETHUNE P.D. DAYS, WHEN I WAS CHIEF IN MCBEE. GONE BUT NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN. REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER.

EDDIE WAS A WONDERFUL HUSBAND AND STEPFATHER. IT'S STILL VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT HE'S JUST GONE. HE TOUCHED MANY LIVES AND WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN. TO ME, RYAN & RYAN, HIS PARENTS, HIS BROTHER, AND THE REST OF OUR FAMILIES, HE WILL ALWAYS BE HERE...IN OUR HEARTS.
