Another August summer birthday happened featuring good guy, Mr. Eddie Miller of Chula Vista.
From August 9th until the 30th, Fast Eddie celebrated a milestone of 60 years.
Fast Eddie, the Leo, was surrounded by his family, good friends, and co-workers for a day of celebration. Family members traveled from out of state, from Austin, TX, and Orlando, FL, to party hardy with the 60-year-old Kansas City Chiefs fan.
“This was initially supposed to be a surprise party; however, the surprise part didn’t work out,” Wifey Pattie Miller shared. Pattie and her team of dedicated volunteers still went full steam ahead, minus the surprise part.
“We tried to make it a surprise party, however, that was very difficult. We tried, but he found out. He had a great time anyway, and that’s really what matters the most,” Pattie shared.
Great food, hospitality, a celebratory atmosphere, and music led to a feel-good birthday experience. According to family and friends, Fast Eddie, aka (Eddie got your back), is loved by so many for his generosity, kind energy and good-hearted ways.
Eddie retired from the Navy after 24 years, has been married for 28 years, is a father, grandfather, and is currently employed with the Naval Hospital.
“I appreciate everybody for coming out to support me on this milestone occasion. Thanks to all my family and friends. This was mad love. Thanks. Y’all know this really means a lot to me,” Fast Eddie the (dancing-machine) spoke to his party of well-wishers.
