Eddie started his professional working career as an Iron Worker. Over time he was able to adapt his work ethic and skill sets and shifted his energy to performing work in the areas of home repair, painting and demolition work for new construction.

Edward had a long (28yrs) loving relationship with his beloved companion Rachel Degenova.
In addition, he served as a stepfather to Anthony Degenova, who he loved very much.
He was the brother of Thomas Reid and his wife Cathy of Weymouth, Suzanne Mullen of Rochester, New Hampshire, Sandra Ortiz and her husband Raymond, Michael Reid and his wife Kathleen, all of Charlestown.

Rest in peace my friend we had a lot of fun times Maria and I drove you crazy the laughs we shared were priceless those memories I will never forget. You were your mother’s boy and she has her wings wrapped around you now. Watch over Rachel and Anthony your daughter grandkids and your entire family. You were loved. Xox
To the man who taught me family is everything (especially when I didn’t want to hear a lecture!) and that even through tough times your expected to stay strong even if that strength means removing yourself from people and or situations to protect them and yourself. Thank you for constantly telling me how much you love my mother and reminding me that your her brother and your allowed to protect her esp when I was being a brat. Here’s to not having to fight the fight anymore (even though you killed it everyday regardless )
Rest easy Eddie always good 2 me ❤
My deepest condolences to Rachel and family as well as Eddies family and friends ❣
