He was born in Ford City on June 5, 1926. Eddie was a very hardworking, self-employed welder for more than 40 years. He was a perfectionist in every aspect of his life. He was artistic and welded many beautiful things. Eddie served his country in the Navy during World War II and served in the Army during the Korean Conflict. He loved the Lord and was a member of First Southern Baptist Church for many years. He and his wife had the pleasure of teaching 4-year-olds in Sunday school. Eddie was an active member of the Tehachapi Masonic Lodge #313 and was proud to be a 32nd-degree Mason. Eddie loved to play golf and was pleased to have made a hole in one. He was a skilled hunter and fisherman. A dream came true when he tagged a record caribou “Gordon” in Alaska. Eddie was an accomplished bowler. He bowled in the service league at Freddie’s Top of the Hill for years and bowled many “perfect” and near-perfect games. The most important thing in Eddie's life was his family. He was an exceptionally devoted and loving husband, father and grandpa. He was physically strong, brave, loyal and had a tender heart. Eddie never met a stranger. When a person met him, they felt like they had known him for years. He had a great sense of humor and an uncanny knack for remembering and telling jokes. Eddie was loved more than anyone can ever imagine. He will be missed terribly by his family and will be in their hearts forever. Eddie is survived by his wife of 47 years, Joyce, of Tehachapi; daughters, Sharon Boyles and husband Charlie, of Bakersfield, and Joyce Freeman of Mt. Aukum; sons, Donn Sheldon and wife Lyn of Fallon, Nev., and Steve Mosher of Oregon City, Ore.; grandchildren, Brandon and Bridgette Sheldon, Chad and Ben Boyles, Darren and Jeff Rich and Jennifer Dooley; great-granddaughter, Stephanie; and many nieces, nephews and friends, including his very special, longtime friend, Bob Azevedo. A memorial service was held for Eddie on Saturday, Aug. 14, at Stallion Springs Community Church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in honor of Eddie be made to the Shriner’s Childrens Hospital or the charity of choice. Wood Family Funeral Service handled the arrangements.
