My name is Diana Balducci (nee Vecchiola). My brother Danny, who passed away in 1992, was a long time friend of Eddie's when they were growing up. We lived on Chambers and then moved to Silverthorn Ave. They were buddies from General Mercer Public School. Eddie was also an usher at Danny's wedding. Yes, there were many a crap game in the back alleys. They both worked at Rose's Variety Store on St.Clair near Silverthorn. The third musketeer was Nello Luciani. When Danny died, both Eddie and Nello came to the house to pay their respects to my mom and talk about the good old days. Danny's children have also asked me to give their condolensces to the Ziraldo family. I extend my deepest sympathy to all of you. I remember Eddie as a very happy go lucky guy and a good friend to Danny.
