EDWARD ANTHONY DACY "Ed"

Edward Anthony "Ed" Dacy of Melbourne, Florida passed away November 1, 2023, after complications from a stroke. Ed was the son of Lebanese immigrants, Alexander, and Amelia, and was born and raised in Washington, DC. His family in America settled in Richmond, VA; Cleveland, OH, and Austin, TX. As a youth growing up in DC, he would make and hold dear lifelong friends from grade school through his Roosevelt High School years. He would play Monday night pick-up basketball with some of those friends and many new ones for over 30 years. At 13 years old, he became a Washington Redskins season ticket holder and was a lifelong fan of that team and the Georgetown Hoyas basketball team. Ed attended George Washington University where he majored in English Literature. He would go on to graduate from Georgetown University Law Center.

Ed practiced law in Silver Spring, MD for many years and would become an influential legal mind on real estate matters in the region and beyond. An avid follower of fashion, he was named Best Dressed by Washingtonian Magazine in 1980. A true son of mid-century America, Ed loved listening to artists ranging from Little Richard & Fats Domino to Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and instilled a love of music, history, and reading into his three children.

Ed is survived by his third wife, Cheryl Morrison of Melbourne, FL; his daughter Lisa and John Bonato of Rockville, MD; his two sons, Brian and Marni Dacy of Gaithersburg, MD, and Jeff Dacy of Charleston, SC. He was the proud grandfather of Grace Bonato, Matthew Bonato, Danny Bonato, Jack Dacy, Sam Dacy, and Joey Dacy. He is predeceased by his devoted sister Gloria Isabell Dacy (2012).
