Edwin Gray Obituary
Edwin worked for Loney Construction for 30 years, retiring after a serious accident on the job in 1993. As part of his recovery, he and his son Marc began to raise orchids, building two greenhouses, and filling them with award winning orchids.
He was predeceased by his parents, his sister Jean (Druke), and his brothers James and Charles. Surviving are his wife of almost 59 years, his sons, Marc and Daniel (wife Sheila) and brother David and sister Joan Jones.
Edwin was a quiet, humble man who loved the outdoors. He built a beautiful home and yard for his family and was still gardening in 2020. He was also an avid hunter and fisherman and supplied many fish and game meals for the family.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 19 at 1 pm at the Newfane Congregational Church, followed by a reception in Fellowship Hall.
Special thanks to all who took part in caring for Edwin, especially Bayada Homecare, Bayada Hospice and David MacCormack, APRN, his primary care giver.

Christine, Marc and Danny, My since condolences to all of you for your loss of Ed. His work ethic, construction skills and communication were critical for the multitude of projects that he was involved in at Loney Construction. His joy of working with orchids always created a smile. Ed was an all around good person and definitely a Vermonter. May all of you find much comfort with your many memories. Peace be with you.
