Eddie, the only name he answered to, was an industrious,
hard-working man of the sea. His life was spent plying the waters of
Placentia Bay in search of the elusive cod to provide for his family.
He made many sacrifices including, many days away during the fishing
season staying out on Merasheen Island while his family was forced to
play the government game back in Freshwater. Eddie instilled in all
his children his great love of his island and like him, all came to
think of it as their true home as well.
Knowing Eddie, he walked through the Pearly Gates with a deck
of cards in one hand, 4 quarters in the other, a little sniff of
Golden Wedding hidden in his pocket and yelling to Loretta that it was
her deal even though it was likely his. He was a proud son of the bay
who was; “Merasheen born by’s and Merasheen
bred”.
His family wishes to thank the staff at Placentia Hospital
and Dr Power for the care provided their father. In no small way they
also wish to acknowledge and thank his caregivers over the last few
years, Donna Pittman (deceased Feb 22) and Paula White – we
will forever be grateful for your care and kindness to
Dad.
