With great sadness, after a long courageous battle with cancer we announce Ed’s passing on April 13, 2024, at the Sault Area Hospital at the age of 77, in the arms of his wife and love of his life Gioconda ‘Jackie’ (nee Coccimiglio).

Loving and proud father of Tammy Bennardo (Joseph) and Edward Jr. (Amy). Adored Grandfather of Mariah Jo Bennardo (Noah Lasante), Stephane and Nicola Bennardo, Elise Marie and Ashton Edward DePasquale and Great Grandpa of Vito and Luca Bennardo.
Cherished brother of Brenda (Dave) Redfern, Danny (late Debbie) DePasquale and the late Brent (Shirley) DePasquale.

Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews.
Mr. De retired after 32 years of teaching for the Huron Superior Catholic District School Board. He enjoyed his retirement at camp with his family and friends. Sunsets, cold drinks, bonfires and fireworks. Ed loved fishing, especially Salmon fishing in the fall. He will be remembered for his sense of humour, one liners, sarcasm and silly songs. If you had a cat he had a song for you.
Always remember “the best time to go fishing is when you can” Ed.
