Tyngsborough, MA - Edward Francis Wallace III, 72, of Tyngsborough, formerly of Westford, passed away at his home on Monday, August 18, 2025. He was the beloved husband of Maureen (Riberdy) Wallace.

Born in Boston, MA, Ed was the son of the late Edward Francis Wallace Jr. and Catherine (Sharpe) Wallace. He graduated from Northern Middlesex Regional High School with the Class of 1970. He went on to earn his Bachelor of Science degree from Boston State College before receiving his Juris Doctorate from Suffolk University Law School.

Ed dedicated his career to the practice of law, first operating his own practice, the Law Offices of Edward F. Wallace, and later founding the Injury Law Center. He was admitted to practice in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Beyond his career, Ed was a proud member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. He was an avid boater and golfer, and he deeply enjoyed time on the water and with his family. A committed community member, Ed was always generous with his time and talents.

In addition to his wife, Maureen, Ed is survived by his stepmother Patricia Wallace of Townsend, MA; his son Nathan Wallace and his wife Lisa of Windham, NH; his daughter Nicole Canavan of Groveton, NH; his brother John Wallace and his wife Marie of Piedmont, SC; and his cherished grandchildren Gwendolyn Canavan, Caroline Wallace, Isla Wallace, and David Wallace.
