Edward A. Anderson

Edward A. Anderson, 79, of Hull, MA formerly of Readville, MA, and Dorchester, MA April 3.
Beloved son of the late Norman and Ruth Anderson. Devoted husband of Diane (Ferland). Loving father of Denise and Jason Permatteo and children Mireille and Andrew of Leominster, Jill and Chris Miller and son Arthur of Quincy, and Erik Anderson of Quincy. Loving brother of Elizabeth and Bill Hurley of Braintree, and Bill and Renee of South Carolina. Loving uncle of Alison and John McDonough and children Eamon and Mary Elizabeth of Foxboro, and nephew the late Matthew Hurley. Also survived by several other nieces and nephews.
Ed spent several decades working in the magazine business, most recently at Boston Magazine. An avid runner, he could be seen running Nantasket Beach several times a week up until recently. Eddie loves nothing more than a round of golf, Frank Sinatra, a good book, and a cold beer. But mostly he loved his family and many, many friends.
A celebration of life will be planned at a later date.

We are so very sorry to hear of the loss of Eddie. He lived quite an incredible life and know that he is in peace. Our deepest condolences, Doug, Julie, Erik, Greg, and Michael Swan
Praying for the Anderson family.
I was lucky to work along side of Ed for many years.
Always positive, fun and a true gentleman.
He will be missed and remembered by all who had the good fortune to know him.
I was so sorry to hear the news of Ed’s passing. While Ed was an outside contractor, he was integral to the success of Boston magazine and he was such a positive influence on our staff. Always upbeat, always with a smile.
I live in Philadelphia and whenever we saw each other we would engage in enthusiastic banter about our sports teams. He always knew a lot more the I did, but I never let on! I will miss those encounters.
I know that I speak for the entire Metrocorp staff when I say that Ed will be missed and that this indeed is an end of an era.
We wish all the best to Ed’s family and may his memory be a blessing.

Denise, Eric and Jill,
We are so sorry we cannot be with you at this time.
We will remember your Dad every time we go to the beach, hear a Sinatra tune, or just to “shoot the breeze”.
Let’s meet later to celebrate his life.
Sending our love to you all

Denis, Erik, and Jill,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I was very lucky to see your dad and you guys last month. I always enjoyed talking to your father as an adult, and I always enjoyed visits to NY from Uncle Eddie Uncle Richie, and the time spent in Hull with your dad and Erik.
My thoughts are with you guys, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
I am very sorry to hear of Eddie’s passing.
I’m so sorry to read of Ed’s passing. Working at Cohasset library, it would make my day to see Ed come through the door. Always a friendly smile and fun chatter. My husband’s a golfer, and we would chat about Green Harbor and other courses. A ray of sunshine. So sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. Chatting with Ed was always a bright spot in my day. Thinking of all of you.
