Eddie was born in Stratford, Ca where he lived and worked on family dairy. The Avila family then moved to San Mateo, CA and joined the dairy owned by Charlie Beffa, where he worked and then moved to the Beffa Dairy in Tracy where he finally retired.

In November of 1950 he was called to serve in the Korean War for the United States Army, for which he was very proud to serve his country.

One thing that our dear beloved “Eddie” loved to do was dance and loved going to the Portuguese Fiesta’s. He enjoyed going to Half Moon Bay to eat fresh crab. He also enjoyed just being with family and friends.

The family wishes to thank the Honor Guard and the Patriot Guard for their services.
