Eric George Eddy of North Harbour, Placentia Bay, passed peacefully away at his winter home in Clarenville, NL on January 19, 2021, aged 82 years surrounded by some of the family of which he was so proud.
Forever remembered by his wife of 58 years, Georgiana (née Forward); daughter Marilyn, her sons Douglas (Mathieu Bertrand) & Matthew, their father Paul Crummey, and fostered great-grandchildren Logan & Lukas; son Curtis (Wanda), his daughter Chantell (Curtis Firth); Deanna, her sons Nicholas & Damien, and their father Mark Burns; son Scott and his partner Trina Hillyard. Sisters Ivy McDonald (late Donald), Juanita Gilbert (late Dorman), Jean Smith (Baxter), Vera Wells (Ellis Bridger), Anne Hickey (James), Evelyn Hickey (John) and Shirley; brothers Ralph (Sylvia) and Lloyd (Bernetta); brothers-in-law Lloyd Forward (late Shirley), Carl Penney (late Barbara), Wendell Forward (Helen), and sister-in-law Phyllis Davis (William).
He is predeceased by his parents Heber and Lillian Eddy, stepmother Josie Eddy, sister Dora Bell Eddy (late Willis G. Eddy), and infant sister Sandra; brother-in-law Wilfred Wells, sister-in-law Gloria Eddy, brother and sister-in law Robert & Shirley Forward, and sister and brother-in-law Rose & Willis Warren.
Eric is also remembered by a large circle of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, near and far, as an expert fisherman, a loving and dedicated family man, a faithful church goer, a school bus driver, and a tireless, hard worker with a keen eye for any handy work to be done. He was most at home on the water, especially in Placentia Bay, and loved his boil ups in the woods and picnics on the beaches of Placentia Bay. We will always remember his beautiful smile, hearty laugh and warm, energetic singing voice.

Hanna, the staff at Healthy Choice Pharmacy and Home and Community Care staff, Clarenville, for their exceptional care during Eric’s long and courageous battle with cancer.

So sad to hear of your Dad’s passing. I know how deeply he was loved through the stories you told about him. It is always so hard to lose those we love, we are never prepared for the emptiness that we feel. Time will help heal the pain, as you relive and re-tell stories about your dad to your boys and your family. Wishing we were closer to share in your loss and support you all. Dwayne and I are sending our love and support to you and your family.

Sincere condolences to you and your family. Your Dad was a vital part of your life Marilyn. I did not have the pleasure of meeting your Dad but knowing you, your Dad must have been so proud of you. There will always be a part of your Dad living in you, Douglas and Matthew. I hope that knowledge gives you comfort. Cherish the wonderful memories that you and your boys have of your Dad. Take the traditions and things your Dad enjoyed doing with you, Douglas & Matthew, and pass those onto your grandkids, so they too will experience the joy your Dad brought to all of you. Seeing your Dads smile leaping off pictures, I know that if I had met him, I would have enjoyed his company. When you think of your Dad Marilyn, I hope the smile that comes on your face is as grand as his 🙂

January 24, 2021 at 12:48 pmWe were fortunate to have Uncle Eric and family as part of our lives growing up and have many memories. Indeed he was a gentle soul.
(Uncle Eric, I spent the day in the woods yesterday and looked up and thought of you many times. Bless you)
David and Betty Pelley says
January 24, 2021 at 3:36 pmIt is with so much sadness we receive word of Eric’s passing. We are blessed to have known Eric even though we only met him and his loving wife, Georgie, over the past 10 years or so. It was such a pleasure to visit them at their home in North Harbour or meeting them in St. John’s on occasion.
Be assured of our sincere condolences and prayers that God will hold all the family in the “hollow of his hand” during the difficult days to come. We will all miss him that’s for sure!
