Edward Connell Obituary
He is survived by his wife, Terri; twin sons, Jason and Jeremy; brothers, Steve and Jeff; sister-in-law, Marcia; nephew, Josh; and a huge circle of friends.
Eddie always put others before himself, and his joy in life was bringing people together. He was the heart of the neighborhood, the life (and often starter) of the party, the best coach and audience member for everything his sons did and the most caring husband to Terri in their 46 years of marriage.
A Celebration of Life will be planned for a future date. Any of you who knew Eddie know that he would want us to gather and make happy memories in his honor with a party that he would be proud of.
Eddie's family and friends were blessed with many more happy years with him thanks to two organ transplants that he was able to receive. In lieu of flowers or gifts, donations can be made in honor of Eddie to Donate Life America at donatelife.net, or UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing) at unos.org/give/#GiveForm.

Eddie & I learned our Managing skills from two of the most colorful AIPSO Managers from the "old" days. I still laugh at stories told by Scotty about the Virginia crew.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
