Thomas Edward “Eddie” Belser passed away on the 3rd of August after a lengthy illness. I’m really sad about it today. I didn’t get to meet Eddie a couple years ago because I wasn’t able to get to the Gray reunion, and now I won’t ever get that chance….sigh. Eddie is my second cousin and was 4 months younger than I am. He is also a great-grandchild of Jim and Annie Gray of Pensacola, but his close relations are in Jacksonville. I hope to be able to meet his closer kin someday soon….well, not in hurricane season though!
