I Remember riding on the bus to Frankclay School. Ebb would be with all taking the bus to high school in Leadwood. He always would say Eric, Eric, he knew I didn’t like being called that. Ebb was a treasure to know. One of the best people you could know.
It has been many, many years since we saw Ebb, but we send sincere sympathy and prayers to the family, and pray for comfort during your loss.

My uncle Eb treated me as one of his own! The things he did to keep me and Rick able to keep riding a go-cart or dirt bike 🏍! To this day I still haven't seen a bike with the clutch on the throttle side! Memory's are all we really have in life. I am praying 🙏 for everyone who cared. Uncle Eb I pray for your sole!
