Eddie was born December 22, 1940 in Detroit, the son of the late Edward and Mable (Russell) Nummer. He spent his younger years in Detroit, learning the skill of brick laying from his father. Eddie went on to work for Cadillac Plastics and found his passion in designing and building. He moved to Caro and started his own business, Premier Building and Design. Eddie was a fantastic designer and could build any and everything. On June 13, 1987, Eddie married the former Joy Harvey. Their marriage was blessed with two daughters, over thirty-five years, and countless dances. Eddie and Joy were members of the Caro Moose Lodge and the Northern Lights Dance Club. They loved to dance any chance they could. Eddie always enjoyed camping with his family and friends, especially in Sterling. He will be missed by all who knew him.
