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).

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.
