Edward C Pelham

Edward C. Pelham passed away peacefully at home on October 18, 2021 with his loving wife by his side. He had been under the home care of Compassus Hospice for four months.  In addition to his loving wife of 43 years, Ann Thompson Pelham, Eddie is survived by his son Edward C. Pelham, Jr. (Jodi) of Stamford, CT and stepsons Scott W. Papst (Jeanne) of Spartanburg, SC, Jason C. Papst, (Meredith) of Oxford, CT and Greg N. Papst (Melissa) of Shelton, CT.  Eddie leaves behind ten grandchildren and three great grandchildren.  He was predeceased in death by his son George Pelham and brother Joseph (Babe) Pelham.

Eddie was born April 28, 1939, in Stamford, CT and is the son of the late Charles Pelham and Mary Gubitose Clark (Herb).  After first meeting 65 years ago, Eddie married the love of his life Ann on his 39 ^th birthday in 1978 and moved from Stamford to Orange CT where he and his wife and three stepsons resided for 22 years.  Eddie, a lifelong New York Mets fan, enjoyed gardening, woodworking, winters skiing with his family in Vermont and summer vacations at the Jersey shore and later in retirement cruising with his wife.

Eddie retired from Alinabal, Engineered Products Division, in Milford, CT after forty-two years in 2000 and together with his wife moved to the Lowcountry of South Carolina where they enjoyed the slower-paced lifestyle of Callawassie Island and eventually Sun City.  Not ready to retire, Eddie worked for twelve years at Secession Golf Club in Beaufort, SC.

A family memorial is planned for a future date in CT.  In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made in Eddie’s memory to the American Cancer Society or a cancer organization of your choice.
