CARMODY, Edward John

Born on July 28, 1946. Passed away January 9, 2019.

Loving Husband of Jill.
From the first time I met you it was love at first sight, and from then on our love grew beyond measure for us to become soulmates.
Our 46 years of marriage brought joy and four beautiful children of our own, Renae, Ben, Jacinta and Daniel. To add to our loving family our children’s spouses, Warren, Debbie, Nathan and Bec and our twelve beautiful grandchildren Josh, Pip, Tom, Will, Zara, Patrick, Sam, Alex, Matisse, Louisa, Elijah and Judah.
You were the centre of our family, always loving and full of fun, and will be forever in our hearts.
While we will miss you sadly, we know you are at peace in Heaven with your loving Saviour.

  3. I first met Ed at Corpus Christi Seminary, Werribee, in 1967 where he struck me as a down to earth decent bloke who would make a great priest. Today I read Ed,s Chapter 35, pages 298 to 304, titled “Propelled towards the Priesthood” in the recently published BYWAYS Memories from a Catholic Seminary. What an extraordinary life. Rest in peace old mate. DE TE VIVERE [Living with God] & CUM TE BIBERE [Let’s have a drink]
