Everyone knows that ex-Leaf Tim Horton started a coffee & doughnut shop, but not many are aware of Eddie's business foray into selling electronics.

Rest in peace, Eddie!!

Founder of Radio Shack?

No . . . but he did have a small doughnut chain, and was (if memory serves) an owner in The Pop Shoppe chain.
Eddie was, for many years, functionally illiterate. He could not read or write. He overcame these limitations, and was, in retirement from hockey, a very successful businessman.

The Eddie Shack golf course. Sometimes he’d drive over in a cart to ask how your game was going.
The last time I saw him he was driving around in a Dodge Prowler.
