Edward Francis Reardon was born Feb. 7, 1939 in Goose Cove to Ambrose and Myrtle Reardon. He was raised by his grandparents Daniel and Dinah Reardon from a young age due to the passing of his mother. On January 29, 1963 he married Theresa Hancock and together they raised six children. Ed was a man of great wit and humor. He was never one to step back from a prank. He thoroughly enjoyed meeting others and had an incredible gift of being able to strike up a conversation and tell a story with whomever was in his presence. His old shed in Goose Cove was a gathering place, every morning for himself and several of his buddies where they would catch up on the news and events of the day. Many a worldly problem was discussed by himself, Gerald and Melv and anyone else who happen to stop by. He wasn’t shy in expressing his opinion on any subject whether he was knowledgeable of it or not. He was known to tell it how it was. Although he wasn’t much for hunting he did enjoy trips trouting in Ireland Bight and berry picking with his life-long buddy, John Murrin. He was not one you would recognize as spiritual however, he was faithful to his church. He attended Mass on a regular basis and was involved with the parish council and the cemetery until his health prevented him from doing so. He was a great neighbour and friend to all and would never hesitate to “do a turn” for anyone. One of his life’s greatest pleasures was his Grandchildren. They were his pride and joy and no task would ever be too large or frivolous when it came to pleasing them. He is predeceased by his parents Ambrose and Myrtle, Sister Madeline and Grandson Stephen. He will be fondly remembered and loved by his wife, Theresa of 57 years, Children John (Pat), Jacinta (Steve) and Luke, Michelle (Jim) and Jamie, Dale (Tracy) and Terryn, Jennifer, Lynette (Seymour) and Joel as well as a large circle of family and friends.
