Ed attended Leicester High School and retired from the Wyman Gordon Company in 2005 after working for over 30 years in both the Worcester and Grafton locations. After his retirement from Wyman Gordon, Ed enjoyed working seasonally at Hillcrest Country Club in Leicester.
Ed enjoyed being outdoors, whether it was spending time on a golf course or hunting and fishing with his friends. He loved his time playing golf at Hillcrest with “The Growlers.” He always enjoyed the excitement of both horse and dog racing and was a member of the former English Social Club in Worcester.
Throughout his life, Ed was always hopeful for the best life could bring! Ed will be remembered for his loving nature, and his kindness and generosity towards others. He was a wonderful, caring man who will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
The family of Ed would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to all the medical workers from New England Hospice, Odd Fellows Home and UMass Hospital who took part in Ed’s care over the last year.
