Edward Hersom Obituary
Edward A. Hersom passed away Sept. 28, 2020 after a 6 month battle with his health. He was born in Berwick Maine to Arnold & Grace Hersom. Eddie grew up with 2 brothers, John & the late Ricky Hersom.

Later he served 4 years in the US Navy band in Washington DC as their first trumpeter. Eddie loved to entertain from nursing homes, to big bands & his annual Memorial day parade in South Berwick Maine. He leaves behind his loving wife of 50 years Joan who he adored, his stepchildren Brad, Keith & Suzanne Therrien. He loved his nephew's Aaron & Jeremy Hersom & their mom Jeannie.

Our deepest condolences Joanne. I will miss Eddie’s intellect and his stories about growing up in South Berwick. He was a true “yarn spinner” for sure!

To Joan and the family, I am thankful that Eddy had 50 years being married and living a full life. He now is resting now awaiting the "Great Spirit" to call him from his sleep to a place where their will be no more sickness, sorry of death. The Trumpet will sound and the dead in Christ shall arise. I Thessalonians 4:14-18
