I was there with him, he was a year ahead of me and in his late 20s if memory serves me correctly. He was very nice and really articulate and always had a smile. The latter Perno years were not great, but I'll alway remember Sgt. Eddie Williams fondly.

It's too bad his last year was also Perno's last year. It would have been nice if he could have been there for JC's first year.

We were suffering fans those years but he was one of the positive guys. A good player and seemed to be an even nicer person.......must have been his Air Force background!

RIP Eddie. Lean years for UConn but I remember Eddie and company.

I remember him. Lived at some point in Torrington? At 26 brought a level of maturity after serving 4 years in the Air Force. Stability. RIP.
