Edwin Alan English, 80, died Saturday evening September 14, 2024 at the Genesis Lebanon Center, in Lebanon, New Hampshire.

Edwin was born on July 19, 1944 in Hanover, New Hampshire the son of Roderick P. and Evalyn (Blake) English.

During his High School years Eddie (as everyone knew him) was the team manager for many sports teams, always supportive of their efforts. He continued his dedication to WUHS through many years of support for the Alumni Association. After graduation in 1963, he went to work for the Woodstock Inn & Resort where he was employed for the next 46 years.

In addition to the Alumni Association, Eddie was an active member of the First Congregational Church of Woodstock and enjoyed many years as a familiar presence at the Thompson Senior Center. Those at church, the Senior Center, the Alumni Association, and at town functions like the annual town meeting recall Eddie as welcoming, cheerful, loyal, caring and detail oriented.

Ed is survived by cousins on both the Blake and English side of his family as well as countless friends in the Woodstock area.

A time for people to gather to celebrate Eddie's life will be held from 5:00pm to 7:00pm on Friday night October 4 at the Cabot Funeral Home. A funeral service will be held at the First Congregational Church of Woodstock on Saturday October 5 at 1:00pm.
