On April 29, 1951, he married Mildred Troudt, his sweetheart who lived down the road.

They also farmed in an area just north of Greeley by Seeley Lake then to a small farm off of 1st Avenue, which was eventually washed away during a flood.

Over the years, he was an Usher and a Deacon and was on the Financial Board. He also taught Sunday School and was the leader for a youth group – most recently at the Eaton Baptist Church. Eddie was also very involved in The Greeley Shutterbugs, a photography Club. Inspired by the beauty around him, he specialized in nature photography. Eddie visited the grasslands often and walked many miles taking as many pictures as possible. He was an avid sports fan. Staying true to his Colorado roots, Eddie enjoyed the Denver Broncos and the Colorado Rockies, but truly enjoyed all sports. He was also an avid reader and read many books, his favorite being the Bible. Eddie was gentle, kind and a loving man who was much loved and appreciated by everyone who knew him. His favorite times were those spent with his family while following his children all over the state for various activities they were involved in over the years. Eddie is survived by Mildred, his wife of 72 years as well as a son Allen and Allen’s wife Shawn, daughter-in-law Patti Dyer, daughter Cindy Kaufman and Cindy’s husband Matt, son Rod Dyer and Rod’s fiancée Marla.
