Edwin Sutcliffe Obituary
Edwin "Eddie" Fred Sutcliffe, age 63, passed away October 12, 2020 quietly at home in Mount Vernon, Ohio. A lifelong resident of Rhode Island, he was born in Providence on November 4, 1956 to the late Ernest A. and Esther E. (Nelson) Sutcliffe. Thirty-one years ago, Eddie founded Universal Shaped Wire and with the help of his father and sons, built it into a successful manufacturing business. He also worked as a supervisor for United Parcel Service across New England for 16 years. He loved his family dearly; he enjoyed the ocean and had a penchant for electrical-mechanical engineering. Eddie will be fondly remembered for his humor and gift of gab. He attended Cranston High School East and Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Eddie is survived by his daughter, Stephanie (Tony) Souza, and sons, Derek, Tyler and Dylan, and their mother, Lisa. Papa Ed was loved by his five grandchildren and two great grandchildren, as well as his siblings, Ernest (Candace) Sutcliffe, Evelyn (Jay) Gildenmeister and Ellen (Joey) Scianna.
A memorial service for family and close friends will be held in the Spring.
Lord, those who die still live in Your Presence, their lives change but do not end. In company with Christ, Who dies and now lives, may Eddie, Rejoice in your kingdom.
Eternal rest grant to Edwin, O' Lord, and let perpetual light shine on him. Amen.

My prayers and condolences for Eddie and his family. I have many fond and great memories with Eddie. My late brother Stephen and I had great times with Ed in Boy Scouts and having fun in the old neighborhood, camping, paper drives, marching in parades, and working on our cars late in to the night....... I also worked with Ed at UPS on the Twilight shift in RI until he left after graduation. So very sad to hear of him passing. R. I. P. Eddie.
