Eddy was raised in Coudersport. He began his adult life in Scranton, PA before moving to Wellsville to be closer to his family. While living in Pennsylvania he worked in the kitchen of Mount Airy Casino and Resort in the Poconos Mountains. Outside of his career, he loved the Cubs (and would give anyone who disagreed the silent treatment). His faith mattered very much to him, and he was a member of the Knight’s Creek Church of Scio.
