Edward John Maraldo

Maraldo, Edward John,

died peacefully on December 11, 2015 at home and surrounded by family.

He was born in Queens, NY on January 16, 1952 to Enzo and Joan (Grier) Maraldo. He grew up in Hicksville, Long Island and had a lifelong love of New York, especially for his Yankees.

He worked as a telecommunications executive for over 35 years.

Eddie had an encyclopedic knowledge of sports (and many other things for that matter). His great intelligence was combined with an excellent sense of humor and fun that made him incomparably charming. He loved music and went to many of the best concerts of his day, including the legendary Woodstock when he was 17 years old. He also traveled extensively and always lived life to the fullest. He was the life of the party but was also the rock of his family. His kindness, hard work and love made our lives magical. His was a life well lived.

Eddie was a graduate of Bellarmine University. It was there that he would meet his future wife and the love of his life, Faith (Whitlark) with whom he would spend over 40 years. In addition to his beloved wife he is survived by his children, Laura, Tony(Amber), Angela and Marcus; grandchildren, Haylie, Parker, Elijah and Enzo; mother, Mrs. Joan Maraldo; siblings Barbara(Bill), John (Barbara) and Eileen (Dave); and a large, loving extended family and group of friends. He was preceded in death by his infant daughter, Ellen, and by his father, Mr. Enzo Maraldo.

The Mass celebrating his life will be held at Holy Family Church on Tuesday, December 15, 2015 at 10 a.m. with a reception immediately following in the Reide Room of the Saffin Center.

The family would like to thank Evercare Medical for their excellent service and Hosparus for their exceptional care and guidance. We are especially grateful to Amanda and Tiffany for their extraordinary compassion and support.

In lieu of flowers the family requests that memorial donations be made to Hosparus, PO Box 35425 Louisville, KY, 40232-9892 or by calling 502-456-6200.
