Edward Alan Sears
Vergennes
Edward Sears, 80 passed away peacefully at his home in bed on Wednesday, January 27, 2021 with his family by his bedside and I fought a good battle with cancer. Ed was born on May 10, 1940 in Ferrisburgh, VT the son of Charles and Millicent Sears.
Celia (Keith) Sears, my wife, I will dearly miss our special times together on stage singing karaoke duets.
I’ll leave you with this…please don’t cry because I’m gone; instead be happy that I was here. (Or just maybe a tear or two. After all, I passed away). He left behind a hell of a lot of stuff to his son (Chuck Sears), daughter (Christine Hayden) grandchildren (Dominic and Michael Hayden) and very close brother (Leonard Sears) whom have no idea what to do with all the stuff down in his basement.
Ed was an all-round good man, good husband and good father. He was a generous and the kind of guy who would literally give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. Ed had a dry sense of humor and developed special friendships over his long life. Ed was an avid hunter, fisherman, machinist, carpenter, a big fan of the Addison County Fair & Field Days tractor pulls and demolition derby.
Special thanks are given by Ed Sear’s Family to the caregivers at the Addison County Home Health & Hospice.

He wrote a great obituary and was obviously a very interesting man with the same sense of humor that his daughter carries on! I never met him but know his daughter. Because of my age and COVID it is safer for me not to attend the service but my thoughts and prayers are with all the family.
So sorry to hear of Ed’s passing, but know he is in a better place than he has been the last few months. Thoughts and prayer for his wife, children and grandchildren. He was a dear friend and will be missed.
