Ed passed away peacefully at Brooksby Village in Peabody, MA, surrounded by loved ones. He now is reunited with his beloved wife Bettie of 66 years who predeceased him. Bettie and Ed raised their family in Short Hills, NJ while spending summers on the shore in Bay Head, NJ. They moved to Peabody in 2007. Ed had a life filled with adventures, laughs and many, many stories. He loved finding opportunities in business and in life. As a partner in a surplus electronics business he was the master of deal making. Ed loved everyone and there was no one he wouldn’t talk to. Friends and family were the real wealth in his life.

Grandchildren include Heather Fontaine and her husband Randy of Georgetown, MA, Tucker McGrath and his wife Courtney of Arlington, VA and Ted McGrath of San Diego, CA.
