Bradford, Vt. —
He was born April 21, 1962, to Fred & Irene Wright in Lebanon, N.H. Eddie grew up in the Hartford area and attended school in Hartford, Vt.
He worked many years as a mason for Parker’s Mason Co. and also worked for many years for College Cleaners Inc. as driver before his declining health.
Eddie was an avid hunter, fisherman, and loved being outdoors. He would hike to the bottom of Quechee Gorge just to get a line in the waters that contained large natural trout, not those “stockies” he would say.
He is predeceased by his father Fred Nov. 27, 2006, and mother Irene Dec. 24, 2010. He is survived by his sister Kay Wright of Lebanon, N.H.; his brother Gordon Wright of Hartford, Vt.; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Eddie wanted to thank many people who were part of his life and helped him through his illness. He was unable to reach out to you all before his passing. He wanted the Lamb Family (Carlton, Fran, Adam, Danny, Andrew, Anna & David Sr.) to know how much he appreciated them making him feel like part of their family and looking out for him. The many nurses and doctors at D.H.M.C and U.V.M. Medical Center for their care during his many visits there. To all the visiting nurses and doctors from V.N.H. “You all were great in my daily care.” Eddie also wanted to thank Jim Mayville and family, Steve Vaughan and his family & for helping him daily. And also the Newbury Village Store for the home deliveries and the friendship.
Eddie most of all wanted to thank his two aunts, Sue & Mary for the nightly 7 p.m. calls to check on him and to just talk to him and listen, “I love you both.” And to John Young R.N. who was there to comfort him at the end, Thank You.
At Eddie’s request there will be no service or calling hours. A private service and burial will be held at a later date at the Post Mills Cemetery, Post Mills, Vt.
