Edward grew up in Palm Valley, Florida, and attended Bishop Kenny High School before graduating from Fletcher High School. These early years shaped the values and determination that defined him throughout his life.
He proudly retired from JEA, where he dedicated many years of faithful service, and pride in providing for his family, Edward touched many lives through his career.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Edward Fay Shore Sr. and Harriett Shore; his wife, Sandra Lee Shore; his daughter, Deborah L. Shore; his son, Lewis Fay Shore; and his two brothers, Rickey Shore and Peter Shore.
Edward is survived by his loving wife, Jeanette; his sons Tommy (Pamela) Shore, and Edward Shore; his daughter-in-law Laurie Shore; his stepchildren Gil (Colleen) Phillips, Eddie (Nicole) Phillips, and Mike (Caroline) Phillips; his cherished grandchildren Kayleigh, Carly, Chance, Alyssa, Juliet, Dalton, Tristan, Dillon, and Leianna; his treasured great-grandchildren Harrison, Bennett, and Vincenzo; and his sister Harriet ("Mickey") Thomas. He also leaves behind extended family and dear friends who will forever cherish his memory.
