"Eddie" died on 13th February 1995 at the age of 89. It was in 1921 that Eddie joined the staff of the then recently formed Birmingham Municipal Bank and from the start he impressed everyone with his professional capability which allied to his fairness and sense of humour, endeared him to all who knew him.

 

Over almost 50 years, broken only by war service with the Army, Eddie progressed through all the "ranks" of the Bank until his appointment as Assistant General Manager in the 1960s, retiring from that post in 1970.

 

At his cremation on 21st February a large number of friends and former colleagues joined with his family in paying a final tribute to a great character.
