Also survived by several loving aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers-in-law, and many friends.Eddie had a warm heart and a good soul. He always volunteered to help anyone in need by doing such things as cooking, cleaning, and planting flowers. As a landscaper by trade, his passion was the outdoors. He loved camping, boating, and fishing. He was an expert at preparing delicious meals on the grill. A simple compliment for his culinary skills would bring that quirky cute grin to his face - dimples and all.Giving "special gifts" wrapped in his "special way" was his trademark. Eddie loved the simple and more meaningful things in life; laughter, joy, peace, family, and friends. Eddie will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. Our "baby brother" is now with God and everyone that awaits him in heaven.Friends may call at Vorhis & Ryan Funeral Home, 310 Dunn St., Lockland, Tuesday, May 12, 2009 from 9:30 AM until time of funeral service at 12:15 PM.If so desired, donations for Eddie Baird's funeral expenses may be made to Vorhis & Ryan Funeral Home.
