Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For those seeking the dox of the big man himself, note that the registered site owner (source) supposedly isn't actually Fast Eddie himself, but is his dead friend, "Gus", he has unpersoned from the site.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, there's a weird flashback.

Seriously. I had to stop myself from reading the whole thing.

Because books.

Still, icky.

That's one of the two pictures I saw apparently posted by Fast Eddie.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Wow, there's a weird flashback.

It really was.

One day that link will come up and I won't reread. I wish today was already that day.

but this caught my attention

Huh.
