Patricia Negrón and Diane Larsen have been best friends since kindergarten, so Ms. Larsen was always ready to step in and help her pal with Eddie, that dancing husband of hers.

“He’d never tire, and I didn’t either,” Ms. Larsen recalled in a telephone interview. “Pat would say, ‘Here, you take him for a while.’ He was a fabulous dancer.”

He was a great jokester, too.

“Always a fun, humorous kind of guy,” another friend, Dick Roberts, said, “until it was time to get serious about ‘You need to do this medically.’”
