Eddie was born and raised in Anniston, Alabama by his parents Neva Poore and Edward William Smith Sr. He grew up between Anniston and Oxford Alabama. He loved to hunt, ride around looking at old cars, and enjoyed butter pecan ice cream. He could look at a car and just tell you what it was. Dad was an old school back yard Mechanic which he did as a career most of his life. I remember talking to people and them saying he was one of the best car electricians with just a light tester. Dad has been wheelchair bound for almost four years but never let that stop him from doing anything. He continued to work on his home, cut grass, and work on other projects.Eddie loved doing stuff with his wife, children, and grand kids. He also loved animals especially his cat Lenny.
