Albert Sales Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born in Pocomoke City, Maryland, Ed graduated from Pocomoke High School and went on to live a life marked by love, laughter, and deep connection to everyone he met. He was preceded in death by his parents, Albert, and Ethel (Ward) Sales, as well as his siblings: Bonita, Louis, Leona, and Dalton.
Ed built a successful career as a general contractor specializing in home remodeling. With a keen eye for detail and a deep pride in his work, he helped turn houses into homes for countless families. He approached every project with dedication and skill, earning a reputation for honesty, craftsmanship, and care.
He is survived by his devoted partner and husband of 17 years, Joe Capaldi. Ed and Joe shared a loving partnership for 24 years and were married in July of 2007. He is also survived by his daughter, Brenda Jane Henger Clayton (Ed); his grandchildren, Kaitlyn and D.J.; and countless friends who became like family.
Those who knew Ed will remember his easygoing nature, quick wit, and signature sense of humor. A jokester at heart, he had an incredible ability to brighten any room with his presence. He found deep joy in life's simple pleasures: cooking and baking from scratch, long chats on the patio with Joe, and offering a warm welcome to anyone who stepped through his door.
His home was more than a place-it was a haven, filled with good food, open arms, and the sound of laughter. Rooted in his Christian faith, Ed built and nurtured a chosen family grounded in kindness, loyalty, and grace. His generosity left a lasting impression on all who were lucky enough to know him.
