Edward Torrence Obituary

WOODBRIDGE - Edward William de Langley Torrence, Eddie and Eggy to his friends and family, age 24, unexpectedly left this realm on Sunday, Aug. 6, 2017. He grew up in Woodbridge on his family farm. He was passionate about music, computers, engineering and driving. He composed electronic music, produced videos, and loved to play piano. He and his brother, Leland, had many adventures together travelling the world, and especially loved to ski. He was most happy when helping his mother with the family pets, and taking "walk abouts" driving with his father. He was a pure spirit who mentored and cared for all those he encountered. He found great strength in his relationships with friends and family, and now enjoys the peace he hoped all others would find.

He is survived by his parents, Laura M. and Leland R. S. Torrence; his brother, Leland Jr.; and his grandmother, Lorraine Mirando, of Woodbridge, and his grandmother, Nikki Torrence Lindberg, of Essex.

In honor of his love of animals, donations may be made to One Big Dog, 135 Bradley Road, Woodbridge, CT 06525. Interment will be private and at the convenience of the family. The North Haven Funeral Home, 36 Washington Ave., has been entrusted with the arrangements.

Every week, I saw Edward in the house. I loved to watch him play the piano. I always saw him downstairs at the house in his little workshop and in the chair, watching a movie. I always made little conversations with him. I'm going to miss that deeply. I will miss you, Edward. Laura and Leland, I'm very very sorry. Stay strong. Love, Wioletta.
