Edward Magnotti Obituary

Magnotti, Edward
Edward F. Magnotti, 95 of North Haven, formerly of East Haven passed away on Dec. 9, 2020, at the VAMC, West Haven after a brief illness. He was born in New Haven on January 5, 1925 and was the son of Peter Magnotti and Angelina Gambardella Magnotti and the beloved husband of the late Eleanor Maio Magnotti of 65 years. Edward was a proud US Navy WWII Veteran and was a torpedoman on the USS Bailey. After the war, he owned and operated Cedar Hill Motors in Fair Haven until his retirement. To all those who knew him he was a master mechanic and a very generous man always wanting to help those in need. He was the loving father of Edward (MaryAnn) Magnotti, Peter Magnotti, Michael (Kate Knapp) Magnotti, Luann (Ken) Hilke and Lisa (Louis) Iannotti, and devoted grandfather of 12, and great-grandfather of 17. Also survived by several nieces and nephews, his sister Margaret Soby and lifelong friend Hilda Gambardella. He was predeceased by one sister and two brothers.
Edward was a member of the NH Annex Club and the Oakley Tigers Football team. He enjoyed playing cards, bocci, the races and the NY Giants. He was blessed with a long and fruitful life and will forever be remembered for his exceptional storytelling, one-liners, and sense of humor.

To Eddie's family,

My father, Joe Vigliotti, was a lifetime friend and loyal customer of Eddie's.

I grew up visiting Cedar Hill Motors as a boy and continued as a customer after I was married.

Eddie was not only a "Master Mechanic", but also a "Friend" to all.

Please know that Eddie will remain in my daily thoughts and prayers.

God Bless and stay safe,

John Vigliotti
