He was fluent in German and Spanish. He loved geology and had a great collection of fossils, meteorites and artifacts.
He was known as Edwardo Magnifico by his close friend Andrew Jackson. Andrew says Eddie was “intelligent, resourceful, experiential, romanceful and spirited — a necessary combination for living life to its fullest; and Eddie’s loving hands are set in stone at Glen’s place in Fort Davis, where he had spent the last 15-plus years. From a spiritual standpoint, Eddie had been to the mountaintop. He had an uncanny, wonderful spirit-minded perspective.”
He was preceded in death by his mother, Betty Norman Halsell; nephew, Paul Wade Drake; and grandparents, Jesse and Mamie Norman and Harry and Ruth Halsell.
He is survived by his father, Dr. O.E. Halsell; brother, Glen G. Halsell; sister, Missy Renner and husband Ted; niece, Elizabeth Drake; aunt, Margaret Parker; and several cousins.
