Actors rarely maintain friendships after a job wraps.
It was different with us. 25 years of great friendship.
He was an inspiration to me and I'm going to miss him.
My buddy, Eddie Mekka, passed away on Saturday.
Eddie was so excited about being with an audience again
and more importantly... working with the students.
Unable to make the show as his health began to fail,
Eddie worried about letting the kids down... that was Eddie!
EDDIE MEKKA: I've Got Stories!
That was to be the name of the book.
We had plans to go to Santa Anita after Christmas.
